Boat looks great, beautiful choice of colors. How it the transom coming? Will you continue the graphics into the bilge?

Thanks everyone! Greatly appreciated. It's been a long process and should be worth it in the end. At least I keep telling myself that.

1Zoom, the transom is coming along and should be done in a couple of weeks. I do not plan on bringing the graphics in the bilge. That can open another can and I do not want to try to keep up with that kind of detail in the bilge. The termination of the graphics is kind of strategically located to not be too abrupt when the hatch is on opened and closed. I was thinking of maybe painting it silver, but I'm just going to leave it for now. I have enough projects that are paralleling with this project. I still need to finish the engine upgrades, dyno, install hardware, tear down drives, paint and polish.

I was thinking how good the paint looks but this engine pic is the icing on the cake.
Beautiful work.
