[QUOTE="Centrarchidae, post: 335640, member: 12622"] Update since the last post. The hull is finished being cleaned and polished! It took a little bit of time, but I am happy with the results and even happier to be moving on. There are two reasons I wanted to have a bare aluminum hull; 1 – I painted my previous boat and saw how much damage painted hull takes over the 2 or 3 summers it was painted. It looks great when first painted, but I think it would take a lot of work to keep it that way. It might be a lot of work to keep the aluminum looking nice also – I guess I will find out. 2 – If I were to paint the hull, it would be next April before there would be enough warm days to get all the painting done. As it was, I finished cleaning and polishing yesterday with the garage door open since it was a nice sunny 45 °F day. Can’t paint at that temperature! Following are pictures of the finished hull. Not perfect but I like it. Since this is a 30+ year old boat, there are many battle scars on the hull still visible. These might have been better covered or hidden with paint, but why cover up all that character? [/QUOTE]
