Well guys after sanding for the last 3 months, I used Awl-Grip Snow white on the bottom shes gonna be on the trailer more than being in the water, So i figured there was no reason for that anti fowling paint,
On the Sides I used Awl-Grip Majestic Blue from a distance it looks black in the sun but when ya get up to it you can see thats a real dark blue, I prefered to spray it because I figured it would be idiot proof, Plus at almost 80$ a Qt I wanted it to go a long way,
And on the top I had to wait for a lil bit more boat money so i could get some more paint, During that time Boaters World here in Georgia was going out of bussiness and I got 3 cans of that Interlux Perfection Snow white for about 20$ a can It tended to run unlike the Awl-Grip but what they say about that stuff is true It turned out like Glass its so dern shineney friends think its a new boat,.
And for the Non-Skid I used Durabak "sand Color"
It went on smooth, You want to roll this stuff on.If any of you fellas wanna try this when ya order it  tell them to send you 2 rollers There special rollers that puts the texure on it and cut 1 roller down  to 3 inches so you can get those tight spots. them I read the instuctions like 5 times to make sure i did eveything it said.
At a 130$ a gal you cant make a mistake If you try it remember to let it get Tacky enough to leave a finger  print in it and then remove your painters tape lines because it gets hard as plastic when it hardens up.and it will screw up your tight lines,
Well here in the next few weeks I am redoing the Whole electric system I have had new equipment been sitting in the closets for the last 7 months and its like christmas getting to open all the new junk that has been collecting dust. The  motors I am gonna Paint them Awl-Grip Oyster white its a lil of A OFF white i wanted it to be a seperate color from the Top side to give it a defanition.  Guys this is the first boat i have ever rebuilt If I can give you any pointers on how i did stuff let me know, Thats how I figured it out by asking other Boaters and Reading books, GooD luck I will be puting some more Pics up when She get more done to her.  :rambo:

Duke,

Is that a generator in one of your pics?  I have the excact 25' Aqua and am curious of where you put the generator?  Also where do you stow your batteries?  I have mine under the buildge area and do not like them there.  They are very hard to access.

Thanks, Larry
