HA, looks good! Alomost the same color I'm putting on now (well, not me) Did you consider a boot stripe? If so, what color would you have picked?

[FELLOW-SHIP]

I have done some things to the boat since those pictures were posted. Put in a built in tackle box under the center consol, a door next to it for access to the fresh water wash down put on the grab rail around the cap more rod holders and just finishing up the storage box under the t-top will put that on this weekend. Still have some other projects in the works to do but not keeping me from fishing this weekend weather permitting. I haven’t thought about a boot stripe maybe after I finish up the other things I have planed I will consider that.

Fellowship-

I understand where you are coming from and believe me I am just as obsessed as you are.
I am also a firm believer in taking your time and doing it yourself.

I guess I was a just a bit naive about the total cost of a complete restoration. Considering that you spent about $30k and did the work yourself....can you imagine what a high-quality shop would have charged you to do it? OUCH
