[QUOTE="Fourbtgait, post: 336965, member: 12795"] Finished the hull painting. Going to let it sit for 1-2 weeks and harden fully. Might wax the almond to seal the pores in the paint fully. But yes, I have decided to wait on the black boot stripe. I will also paint any of the interior of the hull that shows with the almond also. The white is just so glaringly white, the almond is clean, subtle. I had thought of the dark blue also, but I think the regal red looks better. The original Mirrocraft emblems where broken, but I've talked with Mirrocraft and will buy two simple name decals to go on the stern. I need to replace one trailer roller, add a middle cross piece for another roller. The way the trailer is designed, there is no mid support of the bow when loading/unloading. Still thinking of putting the axle over the springs. By doing so I would drop the hull 3" lower, but need to verify several things first. Merry Christmas to all who read this build. [/QUOTE]
