Great looking boat.
Finished adding the trim to the Starboard side window sill reveal then routered the last sill edge then gave the filler I applied yesterday a sand then clean it up then applied a couple of coats of undercoat. Tomorrow I’ll run around with no more gaps, touch up any screw holes that aren’t 100% then give it another couple of coats of undercoat then she’s done and ready for enamel topcoats. Once I did that I cleaned up the floor and whacked up the radar to see how it all flowed. Pretty happy with it all so far.
Beautifully coming together!

I disagree. Based upon my own experience, all my wives were very critical and quick to point out all my flaws. LOL
Ah, and my father too. Nothing went unnoticed. "It is perfect. What about this area? I think you could do better."
It got to the point, I would leave an obvious, easy to fix spot with the hopes that would be all he noticed.

Hendo,
It's been a while since the engine was rebuilt and installed. Curious if you were given any advice on levering (as opposed to cranking) the motor over to keep things from getting stuck while it sits. I'm not offering any advice, but was wondering if you had given any consideration to this.

This with grey/blue shades camo paint would give a hell of a look!
I would pee in my pants to see a boat like that coming full speed behind me lol

Paint - graphics?
Ideas....
I recall about a year ago you said you wanted a black hull. That would not be my preference, because of the heat-retaining characteristics of a black hull, so I prefer the first mockup (the grey with the black stripe).
Then I made you two more with a black hull, because after all of your awesome work you ought to get what you want! This is more of a "paint job" mockup instead of what I think of as "graphics."

This I love. A black hull always looks neat. The two tone look here tho looks even neater, and would probably satisfy all those black is so hot, commentators.
This’s arvo at the boat I made templates for the leatherette work for the front window reveals and styles. Then gave the Port side window sill another coat of undercoat. Wasn’t in the mood today so only spent an hour down there then went home.
No boat today either mate. It’s Flic’s birthday so it’s out to dinner tonight
Happy B-Day Flic!!
SOLSTICE will like you for doing that.
Flic will love you!!
