Good to see you back Lars. The boat is looking good.
How is the Social experiment going there?

The social experiment is doing fine. I think all countries that now opens up after lock down, will pretty much do what we have done all along. I had used audio in the first video, that YouTube claimed I didn't have the rights to use, so I removed the video. Did a slight re-mix of it and posted it again.

Stay safe

Lars

Painting with top coat. One grey color will be great, after 5 seasons with two grey colors...

What paint are you using?  Sure looks shiny ;-)

Lars,
I read your entire post and enjoyed your journey very much.
Thanks for sharing.
Yours is the first 170 I've seen with a heavy motor that didn't want to take water through the scuppers.  The total foam removal must play a part.   Good Job!

Thanks for your kind words!
I painted with top coat. Gelcoat with wax solution. I did make a mistake on the anti slip surface... Not enough hardener...
Scrape it off and try again. Not too big of a deal, it was very warm on the day I did the anti skid surface, and I was afraid it was going to harden too quick...

Thanks guys,

Lars

I did install my floor on top of the old floor, meaning, I moved it up about 3/4 of an inch.

With West Marine scupper valves, my boat is dry even when I walk towards the back... I'm not skinny...

Will work on the floor tomorrow. I used topcoat with sand blasting sand, to create a surface with some grip.

Best looking Aquasport in Sweden. How did it originally end up there? Just picked one up 2600 miles away but yours beat that out. Great job
