I’m a skinny 180 lb (so my coworkers say cause I’ve shed 45 lb since September) middle aged fishing crazed sports nut. 33 hours into it so far. I guess I’m taking my time. Too many breaks at the work site. Lol. Maybe I’m twisted but I’m actually enjoying the process. Could be I just like hanging with my boat and it’s gotten me out of honey do lists for what will be the third weekend in a row.

Yea it is therapy. If I can’t be on my boat I want to be working in my boat.

At the boatyard today to finish the job. Getting boat removed from trailer and set up on blocks at 8 am. Have until Monday at 2 which is when the are scheduled to load it back on my trailer. Beautiful day in Florida....52 degrees, sunny, no wind, not a cloud in the sky. Might have a few passing showers to work around Sat afternoon and Sunday but hopefully they won’t stop the workflow too much I’ve laid out my plan on a for each day but I’m pushing long and hard today and tomorrow to beat any bad weather delays.

The end is near. I was able to get the crew to move the stands this morning. So all the bottom paint is off and I as able to sand both sides of the hull and got the scratches out of the hull. Rain chased me away around 3 today. Should be able to finish sanding, polishing, and waxing tomorrow.

Looking good. I'm sure you're glad the end is in sight.

Hell of a job, must be rewarding.
I took my black boot stripe off completely when I put the white bottom paint on. I actually liked the look without it.

Looking good. I'm sure you're glad the end is in sight. Well, the wife will be. LOL. It’s been ever weekend since Jan 15. Definitely longer than I anticipated. Rain delayed some work today for about 3 hours. But all that is left tomorrow is a coat of wax. Can’t wait to take it out next weekend.

It does feel good to upgrade the look and hopefully I’ll see some improvement in my performance numbers. The boot stripe is coming off tomorrow if I have enough time before they load it in my trailer. If replaced, I’m consider navy or metallic gray. However I’m leaning towards not replacing it.
