Well,

I'm over the hump. I finally finished all the painting on the boat. Ive got a little bit of gelcoat repair to do on the transom. I just finished painting the nonskid areas Friday. It's getting to the point where things can start going back on/in. I'm going to try and post some before and afters, hope it works.

That looks REALLY good! What paint are you using? Are there any specific issues to address on the deck and other areas that see abraision/foot traffic?

Thanks guys, it's been a helluva lot of work but it's really starting to come together. I had another productive evening today, i got my new hull numbers put on, one cleat installed (what a Bi@*# that was), installed two new cable boots in the motor well and filled the holes/cracks in the transom with gelcoat.
Havis, I'm using Devoe 201 (2 part) epoxy primer and 379 (2 part) uerethane enamel for the top coat. As far as abrasion resistance, it's supposed to be great. I'll post a link to the product data page. Awlcraft 2000 list for over $200 a gallon, I paid less than $50 a gallon for this top coat, $20 for the primer. Both those prices are with a company discount but I don't think it would be a whole lot more. I'll keep the pics coming.

i tell you what is the best thing i've found for painting the inside of your boat is truck bed liners by Rhino they will do all the sanding and can be sprayed smooth with best of all a transferable warranty. I got mine done the whole thing from the rub rail the whole inside for $500 with the lifetime warranty. It's great not slick wet and no cracking plus water tights the whole inside.

shicks, yer killin me, Just when I thought I could rest, you did a great job. Mines going in for paint soon. Gonna do off white on the topside to the rubrail, and either a cobalt blue or teal color on the hull from the rubrail to the tape line. I already got all new stainless hardware, rod holders etc. Pulling the outdrive to change all the bellows and hoses, and paint the outdrive also. But boy does yours look great. Hey Shicks, I cut down the bowrail, but I think I'm gonna take mine off altogether. If your interested, its could be yours along with new stainless hardware.

Franco - I can't wait to see a V20 with a blue hull. That will look gorgeous (I am partial to cobalt, but the teal will look good too I bet.) When do you expect to have it painted?
