I must be a glutton for punishment. Bought another boat with faded color, but this one had gelcoat damage below the waterline. So this weekend I regelled the exposed fiberglass and sanded out the first fill layer. I still need to do a top coat.
Then I started wetsanding the faded red sides. Thankfully the state of tools has improved since 2008 or whenever I did the Baja. I did that one by hand, this time I bought an air powered water injected DA sander. Only thing is I got paper that's too mild, gotta get some 400 or 320 grit next.
Then it was nice weather today, makes me just want to go ride in the darn thing!

Vent, where is the vent :noidea: What we have here is a failure to vent :rant:. This sounds like you had a good day, at which case glad to hear it :thumb: :D
