Thanks,
I have decided to paint only from the rub rail up!The hull is in great shape except for a few small dings which I have someone repairing.It has the light blue stripe which I think I can sand and repaint with dark blue.I'm still trying to find someone that can spray the deck and bridge.Do you have any idea what color Uniflite used so I can get paint to match?
