You are an artist , this work goes way beyond craftmanship !
She´s so beautifull !
Better than new and the colors a so right !
Take your time for the rest of all that work.
And thanks for sharing all this with us.
I followed allready the 30" which is also very nice,but this is your masterpiece.
WELLCRAFT should take at least notice of your projekt ,if not support you with parts........................
Are they aware of your activities ?

Thanks guys, sounds like you are as happy as I am to see it painted. I hope to get in the bilge this evening and start prepping it for primer. Hope to paint it by early next week.

You are too kind! I'm just an old body man with a vision lol. As far as wellcraft, Not that I know of. I'm not sure where wellcraft is located these days. Or if they're still in business. They used to be in Sarasota Florida. But that was years ago.

That means a lot coming from you Dan! Thanks for all the help and advice you've given to me along the way. That's what I like about this group of boaters. Just good people helping each other out, if it's not free parts it's free advice and direction. Not many hobbies are like that!

Well we didn’t get the engine compartment painted. Been real busy with the shop. But we got the rubrails down the sides, and getting some brightwork installed, including the bowrail. I don’t know why people delete them, I think the bowrail is a signature part of these boats.
