We still have a bit of cleanup to do and a couple of coats of varnish yet but she's outta my shop. Now I need another boat to do.

Yeah, we had cardboard in between but it still got the bottom paint and a bit of the rub rail's varnish. Nothing I can't fix tomorrow.

MikeAR, her name is Beth.

Chef, ya don't wanna know... I know exactly but considering we basically painted her three times, the numbers are off. Normally it's be about 350 man hours.

Thanks, I love it!
Some names just fit - your Valiant shows grace, beauty and strength - like the girl named Beth I knew growing up.
Vivat!
