Thank you all - trying to keep the theme of a clean, industrial kind of look this time around. The hardware on the transom will be a mix of gloss black and some polished stainless / aluminum (like the first pic) The boat will be white so I used this boat as my template. The one outside cavitation plate mounted (in the crappy 2nd pic) I wet-sanded and buffed it before installing it.

Finally got the other plates on.
It's been a really bad couple of weeks as we lost our dad recently. He got us into these flatbottoms, he raced them from the mid 60's to the mid 80's, we skied behind flatbottoms and grew up around them. This is him towards the end of his career in his Comp Flat Hondo - we're going to miss him a lot.
