Looks great. Where did you get that nav light fixture? I changed mine last year and dont like it as much as the original.
Thanks

Anchor/Running Light
 
Donzi,

This is the original. i have had it since 1984. Very hard to find. I have not seen another and I have been searching high and low. If I run into one I will contact you first.

Gel
 
Aaron,

Gel did lay out rougher than what you see, but not that bad. These photos are from today after first sanding with three more stages to go. First experience with gel. Thought the color was way off at first but once it was sanded down it really came to life and matched up perfect, unbelievable the difference and very happy with product. Stripes and bottom coat are gel as well. Stripes are flush on hull with red and white at same level and depth (no stripe edges to the touch). Recommend this gel coating to anybody considering a paint re-fresh.

Jeff she looks GREAT !! Was there paint on the hull before you gel coated it ? If there was how much did you have to remove before recoating ?
