You have probably noticed over the years you haven't seen any photos of my boat. Well there is a reason for that. The vinyl is a disaster especially the back 1/3. The hull's graphics were all torn up and the paint was white chalk color. All of that is changing! I have most of the vinyl done and the hull is completely redone. I was amazed that for a 10 year boat under all of the scuffs, oxidization and minor scratches there was a really nice gel coat as I had hoped. I only have two very minor scratches left so not bad. Turns out stuff really does buff out.
Modernized the graphics a little bit and will keep going. Here is a before and after on the port and starboard sun deck hatch covers. Still need to smooth out a bit but not too bad. The vinyl repair tape held up great but it is time for it to go.

I swear my upholstery is held together with Tear-Aid! LOL. I keep saying "one more year". Eventually I'll need it redone. Probably over the winter. (or maybe "one more year")

That Tear-Aid is the best! It kept us going for a couple of years.
