Too cold to paint up here. Yeah, almost may and it's still to cold. I did use my time after work today to install 9X12 bennett trim tabs though. Interested to see how they do on the 20. I had them on the 23 inboard but don't remember using them too much. That ol girl was a tank.

Got all the painting done. Now just need to do where the back boat stands were. The hatch on the front seat is a tackle locker built by custom marine plastics in RI

In the water today. She looks a lot better than last year. On the ramp, a guy stops and asks who the manufacturer was. After I said SEACRAFT he said, "gorgeous boat" and drives off. Love it!

Sweet pics love the front shot

Top end with crappy quicksilver beat up aluminum prop was 32.6 knots at 5700. I still need to raise it up a hole which should get me another hundred or so RPMs and than dial in the prop. I have a used semi clever yamaha aluminum 17 pitch I want to try too.

Love the top cap and deck color, what type paint and color is it Elijah? Going to do mine and was thinking going with the Signature that El Capitan Chuck used?

Capt. Chuck has led us in the proper direction. I used Signature paint on my transom, it's been five years and it still looks great. My original off white hull color was matched with Signature 162A color.

Thanks for that Don, im not certain yet but the off white was my initial choice. The color Elijah chose looks awesome though so now i must choose i guess, lol.

It was just interdeck I believe. I have the can somewhere and will let you know what the actual color is. It held up good on the cap but not as we'll on the deck.
