    Here it is on the lift! Never took shots of it. Here is one as I was going up our canal. I'll shoot some more this week. This picture is at sunset.

    Misery loves company! :) You can never have enough boats. I splashed the SB16 for the first time today since the rerig and restoration. It is VERY quick. I did not have batteries for my portable GPS so no numbers. I am alittle concerned having my son and daughter using it, it is kind of flighty...

    That is the finished product. I never got a chance to snap a pic of the test spot. I would assume like any original clear finish, if not maintained and covered it will peel

    Raybo Marine did a test section on the bow today. He used clear Imron without the clear primer that imron makes. It looks absolutley unbelievable. We are going to have a test spot primed tomorow with the clear primer and then the clear awlgrip. That should increase the "depth" of the gelcoat...
