Summer hasnt been too productive for finishing the boat, but got alot of traveling in to be fair. Boat is now ready for topcoat on the topsides after a couple rounds of white 545. Cap and phone booth will get sprayed, and going to roll n tip the hullsides and spots on the deck that need it. Going light seafoam kinda color with nonskid.













love open deck space!

I think my skin is the wrong color! :afro:

That is alot of real estate though, eisenglass and a coffin should help to break it up. Form follows function!
