"John...
That looks like a bit more than a winter project to me. I didn't read all the text on that boat, so I'm not sure how long that took him, if he mentioned it. All I know is that with all my family and kid's afterhour activities, theres no way I could find the time to do a job that big. Excellent finished product though. Logging onto this site every couple of days is as close as I get to doing a boat project.
And yes...we are all waiting for the ice to melt and the snow to go away so we can get our boats out of storage.

Great job on her.

Raymond:

Great job on her. The gelcoat still has some gloss; what part are you painting? I was going to paint my 87 until I wet sanded it and buffed it out. There is a power wet sander that prof. restorers use.

"Guy,

"Guy,
Im repainting the bottom with antifoul paint. There are a couple spots in the gel coat that need patched (scrapes,scratches). Other then that the main cosmetic change will be the front hatch cover. You cant see the bottom to much in that pic but the underside looked bad (Paint only)."
