Took her out in open water yesterday riding over the swell at around 20knots she rode beautiful the bow done all the work, she was very stable and predictable in over taking swell in a following sea, she drove very stable going across the swell at an angle, she even done well over taking a cruisers wake no broaching at all

Caught some fish and squid

I got a flat tyre in my driveway when i got home

Treated the old girl to a new lowrance hook 9 chartplotter/fish finder i also have mercury vessel view mobile

Starting to work on the paint job over the past few days i have been applying paint stripper to remove the old peeling and cracking paint on the top deck

I used the pressure washer today to blast off most of it very hard going as the paint is very thick actually looks like house paint

Applied another layer tonight at 11pm i will wash that off tomorrow

I faired one side section quiet afew months back and only just sanded it back for the hull to be painted

Lastly a pic of how the boat turned out with a small homemade windscreen
