    Cool! Thanks!

    Does anyone by chance have a close-up of the Scorpion logo?
    Or a really good jpg version of it? Starting to make plans for the winter...

    Well, the boat is now out of the water. Winterproject started right away!

    It seems like the paint didnt like the way we boat in sweden, we keep our boats in the water the whole season and the paint didnt like that so it had to be removed.

    I emediatly started to strip the paint... more pictures will follow of the progress.

    Well, I like it too but it seems that the paintjob wasnt well executed so I had alot of small bubbles in the paint when I got it out of the water. I could peel of the paint with my hands.

    It gonna be tough to leave it in the water and not get blisters in the paint
    unless you go with ugly bottom paint.

    A couple of shots of the progress... This job is incredible boring but atleast the paint comes of really easy.

    The original gelcoat seems to be darkblue with some goldpaint.
    It kind of looks the way the "Express" boat was painted with gold on the sides of the top deck. (Altough it looks like the "Express" was painted black)

    As I mentioned before; If someone has some more information about my boat or its previous owners - feel free to write something about it in this thread.
