[@brianhepworth4854]

I love the way you work- clean and methodical… I watch your videos as inspiration to my own contessa restoration… Thank you for sharing them.

Thanks Brian. I hope your resto is going well.

Looks great. Waiting on my own weather window to paint the bottom. I'll watch your videos while I wait.

Still early here. I may have been a bit optimistic with launching in April.

Looking great! All the hard work is paying off; you're prepped for a fun summer on the water.

[@EpoxyAndButylTape]

Thanks! Hopefully summer and beyond.

I'm Renovating one, the topside white is a mess requiring lots of sanding to remove old paint. What did you use for the white? Ie paint or gelcoat?

[@EpoxyAndButylTape]

The white part of my deck is original gel coat, but if I had to paint it, I would go with a two part epoxy paint such as International Perfection.
