Well Curapa let me help you out, these boats are not very fair to begin with. I recall sitting on my porch with the boat across the street after a hard rain with the sun at my back and noticing all the ripples and waves in the sides as she sat. I spent a stupid amount of time trying to get those out knowing I was going with a dark color. The darker you go, the more imperfections you see. I do love the way it turned out but had I gone very light grey (with black t-top, bottom, and rub rail, gawd that would be sharp) we could have talked about this 6 weeks ago.

Reel, thank you for the very kind words, thanks all of you that have commented on my work in progress. We few know what a versatile platform we have to enjoy virtually every facet the water has to offer. I am thankful you guys appreciate my hard work as those who do not appreciate these boats for what they are say I am out of my damn mind.

Now to figure out how to insure her.....

That is one of the most beautiful Vs I have seen! GREAT JOB!! I wouldn't have done anything different, down to the color scheme!

Once again the below deck is most fantastic. Words just don't do this rig justice. Battery placement, fit and finish, rigging, it all looks top notch. Nice job, your talent shows.
