It took me about a year to get a painter picked out so there was quite a gap after she was sanded and prepped to when she was sprayed. Plus, I changed my mind twenty times. First I was going to go all silver, then all white, then decided on black and white. Once I ordered the paint I couldn't change my mind again. It probably sat in there while I was building the lean-to around it for about a year before I got a painter that I trusted to spray it.

Then some sanding, and more sanding....I'm getting tired thinking about it.

Then finally after an eternity of prep work the primer and paint started, along with, more sanding.

During the year of indecision, waiting, and sanding, my local interior guy was doing a bang up job putting the new interior together.

Finally, clear was on and it was time to put her on the trailer and wheel her into the clean part of the barn for rigging.

At this point we started pulling all the little pieces apart to sandblast and paint them individually. All the brackets on the engines, the transom assymblies, trim tabs, drives, anything on the boat that was steel or aluminum was disassymbled, blasted, and painted. Okay, I'm going to bed. 'Till next time

Wow what an amazing job! Your cabin interior looks so comfortable. Actually looks like a go fast cabin I'd enjoy spending time in. I also really like the simple color scheme, so clean.
