I can't wait to see what is under my current paint, I know it's red, from the few small scratches. I have a feeling it's going to be a similar style.

Was your boat the old XS Impulse Scarab or am I thinking of a different boat. The XS one was a MV paint scheme that someone repainted grey. Wayne will remember.

Got more done tonight, mostly grinding, Brian was able to cut the rest of the wood out of the sides deck to the edge of the divinycell.

Belt sander is the ticket for these tough to get to places. Still got more grinding to do to lay down more glass on Thursday...

Little more this weekend. Got the instruments removed. Much of this wiring will likely be reused. Im going to go with autometer marine gauges with black faces. I was hoping I was wrong about the bow rail reinforcement in the deck being constructed of wood, but no, it is wood, and it’s rotten. I got the rest of the sides of the deck rot replaced. Now I lack the dash/fairing area and the bow rail area.
