Thanks, Big, but this thing is way beyond wet sanding! It used to be a construction boat, that is it was used to transport workers and materials to an island development. Sometime I'll tell the whole story -- it's a good one! I'm also going to do before and after pics.

She is still in the body shop but work is progressing. The hull has been repaired and painted, and the work is now focused on the deck and interior spaces. I hope to see her move from the body shop next week into the engine bay! I did change the color from the original white to a sort of tan color, similar to what you see on the new Grady White boats. The deck is remaining what they call sand color. Next comes the mounting of a new Yamaha 200 hp HPDI. Yeeehaaaaa!!!
