Well I dropped it in the water the other day to swap trailers. Unfortunatly my photo shop is not on this computer so I do not think this is going to look all that good. At any rate I am VERY happy with the way it looks in the water especially.

Well it has been a while since my last update. The fairing project was side lined as I had some MAJOR rot that needed to be taken care of Anyhow this pictrure shows more of the filler spread onto the inside of the fairing. This was done MONTHS ago.

The other day I removed the rub rail off the boat for paint. I liked the look so much that I think it is staying off.

This picture shows the new bulkheads installed. What I did was glass the bulkheads in and am now smoothing them out. These used to be covered in carpet and were one of the reasons that things rotted out.

I have been super bussy at work so I have been having my brothers shop ***** sanding away on the bow. I have been having him take off all the old gell coat. He is sanding tell he can see the glass poke through in a couple spots.

Lots of progress. I kinda like the look of no rubrail, just like a Gladiators. Did you glass the void left behind?

Good luck.

Bryan: I did not remove the rubrail. I removed the deck rail. To remove the rubrail would be a job that I would NEVER tackle on a boat like this.....
