It's been a while, but here's the progress. The fiber job was a lot of work, didn't expect it to take so much time, but its finally ready. The outside and the tunnel has been painted with AwlGrip Black. This also was a time consuming process, we have done 4 layers and I'm very happy with the result. We put the engines and transmissions back, as soon as the painter is done, we are going to work on new electrical wiring and renew all the hydraulic hoses.
The inside is painted with primer, the topcoat will be AwlGrip Silver, hope they finish that this week.
On the side we are working on a trailer.

We also finished the trailer and put the boat onitr. That was kinda scary, we modified an existing trailer, build a tunnel and extended it, we maked sure that it was strong and solid, but on d-day the plan had to come together and it did. It sits perfect. The trailer is not for use on the highway, but only to use inside the harbour area.

The boat got her name and the decals are attached. We put on the outdrives and are working on the hydraulics now.
