Now I love it. Nice to hear that someone actually documented what they did. Sweet boat, but you need to ski more. ;-)

Actually there was a thread years ago about how a dimpled surface would affect the speed. The answer isn't what you might expect.

Do I need to put dimples on my F150 now?

A hailstorm will do that for you and your insurance company will give you a check to boot.

Had that on my last F150, but at 450,000 miles, I'm not sure there was a whole lot of mileage improvement left. My current F150 does have an annoying hail dent on my hood close to the back edge on the drivers side. Perhaps I should just leave it figuring that it is saving me a little at the gas station.

There is a rubber mat screwed to the teak which is about to fall apart. One of the skaggs on the bottom is bent over at a 90° angle. There is a ingenious access hatch that was cut into the front deck. The upholstery is in the same condition you would expect to find based on the rest of the boat. There are also holes in the keel that go all the way through the rhino lining the gelcoat and fiberglass.

What is it about people from Pensyltucky and rhino liner on boat hulls?

My project has a nice layer of antifoul paint. Which is gonna provoke some very foul language as I strip it off.

The one good thing I can say about that boat is that it has a nice salt water trailer. Now if it just fit the boat properly...

Haven't seen this color combo before. Really nice shape!
