Well the boat is ready

Re-did the bright work, replaced the rub rail, and clean it inside and out.

Looks great! Is that the original woodwork or did you have to make some pieces?

[jdubes]

Thanks. Everything is original except the piece at the stern of the boat. Previous owner put that one on. I might replace it this winter.

Very nice! Love the dark blue/black bottom. Also nice work on the bright work.

I too like the dark blue/black hull! I assume that is new paint? Did you do the work yourself? I recently purchased an 81 DS1 that is still in very good shape, but the hull is orange and has the original "Spindrift One Design" decals & stripes on it. I would like to remove the artwork and repaint, but have never done that type of work. I read somewhere on this site that some brush paint and tip (with a ton of sanding) to get a nice finish, but that seems a bit strange to me. If I had someone do that work, any idea on how much it would set me back?

I didn't paint the boat, previous owner did. The paint is a year old.
