    None of the words like "beautiful" or "gorgeous" are strong enough.

    There must be a German word, when translated means "way beyond all existing standards for beauty."

    My Buddy has gone beyond the call in his work and in participating in my fire drill of this project. The stripe and lettering are his ideas. He's telling me it will shine like glass once he finishes color sanding and buffing. I am real happy with how it came out. And beyond Grateful that he painted her for me. Hey Paul. Skater is a ghost image in blue pearl.

    Lots of fit work. Ready to seal and mount all deck hardware and dash panels. Steering cylinders did not fit right. Measured for new hoses. New hoses shipped with new Latham cylinders. Ordered hopefully final batch of hardware this am.
    Progress seems slower then I'd like but, steady.

    Cockpit floor 2nd coat. One more today and paint work is complete. Steering parts arrived. I can install and finally measure #6 hoses to cylinders exactly as I like.
    Gaining momentum.
