That gel scheme looks better than the paint job. What were they thinking?

He was trying to do a really wild paint scheme but the painter was in over his head.

Color is almost all done. Just lots of sanding left. Lots and lots of sanding.

We are finally working on this project again. Boat is back inside and ready to rig.

Convinced the owner to let me gel coat the bilge. When we got it stripped apart we realized how bad it was.

Because eliminator basically uses honeycomb cardboard as a floor with a layer of glass on either side we wouldn't be able to easily paint it. The floor was saturated in oil and years of grime. You can't grind down to fresh glad because there just isn't enough there and replacing floors is out of the budget. We decided to go with carpet on the floors and gel on the transom and in the bilge.

Got a few parts bolted on and I really like the silver on red.

Not the best picture but you get the idea.

Ok. Here are a few more pictures. The boat left today. The owner will install his interior and wire the stereo and it will be at desert storm. It isn't done but it will run. We will tie up loose ends next week.

Sorry for the short post. Didn't get a lot of pictures. I'll get more when it comes back.
