I was wondering where you went. Happy to hear she is coming along and is being put to good use!
+1.
Ok, the decals are gone and the gel coat has been buffed, shined, and waxed. She looks like a new boat! I'll be taking pics and will post them this week. We took her out today with the kids and then brought it home. I'll be washing it probably Wednesday night, and will hopefully take pics Thursday and have them up by Friday. Then, we'll compare before and after pics. It looks good enough that I'm not going to do graphics on the side. It has kind of a classy, uncluttered look, with one subtle and small navy blue pen stripe going down the side.
The only things left to do are the trailer brakes, a little fender work, some diamond plate on the fender and trailer steps, a name decal for the back, and buffing and repainting the lower unit.
When we pulled into the neighborhood tonight, several neighbors commented that it looked new and that they couldn't believe this was the same boat we brought home in May.
I hate it that we're running out of summer! I plan to winterize after the weekend of October 9. When she floats in the spring, she'll be 100%, including the trailer work.
