That is a VERY nice looking boat. Hard to believe it's 22 years old. Had it just been repainted and, if so, with what?

All I found out from a coast guard data link is that your boat was manufactured by Edson Fiberglass Boats in Friday Harbor Washington.<br />WWW.uscgboating.org

Thanks guys,<br /><br />I've been told that the boat never stayed outside for an extended period of time, and based on its condition I could easily believe that. <br /><br />The bottom seems to be painted but I have no idea what paint they used. The floors are pretty solid, and the engine starts up fine.<br /><br />Can't wait to put it in the water. <br /><br />SL
