To paint or not to paint?

[Stinky_Hooker]

I got a couple rough spots on the bottom on my Delta Craft from an accident 2 summers ago. I got them patched up while on the trailer so theres no leaking and they are solid. I kept saying last year Id do it after hunting season and didnt get around to it. Im thinking of tearing her down and flipping to finish it off correctly and spray her seafoam green on the bottom while Im at it. Thoughts?










It would likely be rubrail down and new black stripes.

ugly boats occupy a lot less of your time working(cleaning, washing, waxing, etc) and more time fishing

good. The same could be said for women

once you paint, you will always have to paint

I'd leave it alone and let the next owner worry about it 10-20 years from now...

Stink, you do good work from what I've seen. I say do it. Seafoam with a white cap will look nice and really make her yours.

X2 Leave it alone.. It is like putting seat covers on a pick-up truck. Who are you saving it for? Besides, the fish don't care.. I heed my own advice, my skiff has bare glass showing in many places.
That means it gets used...
