Just about ready to go!

Sanding old bottom paint, safety first.


Compound and polish


New boot stripe to go with new decal and bottom paint


Installed Bennett trim tabs

Thanks guys!  The paint is Aquagard, its waterbased and goes on real nice with no fumes.  Cleans up with water and has some pretty good reviews.

I like the sound of that, whenever I think of bottom paint I think nasty stinky stuff.

The paint went on easy, two coats and still a third of a gallon left.

Looks great!
I really like the trim tabs, I have a Osprey 25 and they are not that big, I am thinking not the right size?

Thanks guys!

Seabob is right, they are M120 sport tabs.  Thanks to Tom aka (Tabman) the install was quick and painless.  Hopefully I will get to try them out this weekend.

Ebay seller Clem had a set that was left over from when he was an Aquasport Dealer.  Marine Connection liqudators in Florida has smaller decals in Teal for $5 a piece.
