[QUOTE="Whidbeyboater, post: 514111, member: 35394"] I am a terrible painter. Just don’t have the patience. Luckily my wife can help in that department. Got all the exposed areas painted grey. The bow will have some exposed Aluminum. Looks great so far, needs a light sanding and one final coat. Got my 12 gallon fuel tank. Fits perfectly. I wish I could have closer to 18 gallons capacity but 12 should be more than enough for 95% of what I plan on using this boat for. I can always haul a few jugs if I need. I talked myself out of painting the center console and decided to get it powder coated white. I think the powder coat will hold up a lot better than paint and white will look really good with the grey paint and gray / green / white speckled flooring. I’m out on a work trip for the next 2 weeks so not much progress will be made but it should start coming together quickly when I get home. [/QUOTE]
