Looks real good John, the angle trim you used looks almost like is curved slightly on the top, is it just the pic?

Budski, tell me more about those graphics decals. Were they from Sylvan or did you have then made up? How did you apply them? How difficult was it to apply?

I've been in contact with the local Alumacraft dealer and am told I can get the currently used graphics from them. Not too pricey either.

Hi Glen, yes the angle trim I used is slightly curves actually it is stair trim, new but I bought a bunch at a used building supply place the price was right and it works for me.

Hi Bonz, I bought the decals from Boaters Dream in Swanville Mn, he has a lot of new and used boat parts, he also has adds on ebay, they are not that hard to apply, you need a plastic squeegee and start from one end my son applied then the hardest part was aligning them properly, I'm sure if you do a google search you can find a method of applying them.

Looking real good John, I thought that aluminum looked familiar, just couldn't place it.

Looks great, excellent work & progress..... A few rainy days may keep ya in the garage, but maybe finished sooner????

If it's anything like the weather in the midwestern US, batten down the hatches...........
