The deck. This is where we ran into a big problem - fisheyes. I had cleaned the deck while sanding, and we re-cleaned before spraying, but even that wasn't enough. Eventually, I re-sanded the entire deck area and we repainted it. There are still a few small fisheyes, but they should go away with the clear coat.

On Monday 12/29 we got started on the graphics. Steve (I believe he goes by Speeddoc on OSO) and I started taping and painting.

Red stern - I won't have to clean it as often as the old white one.

Closeup of the hull. The red is tipped in a metallic rasberry - very cool looking.
