Default More ALEXSEAL photos

The masking paper is off the hull.

Only the whale stripe (on the outside of the bulwark) and the
bootstripe to go. They will be a rich green.

Of course I'm prejudiced, but I think this is one of the more
impressive re-paint jobs I've seen.

Another boater brought his boat to the same yard for paint and was
planning to use another product. When the paper came off "Indulgence"
his changed his paint order to ALEXSEAL.

My sister and my brother in law live in B'ham. My BIL is a sailor, but
I have never held that against him. They dropped down to the yard to
inspect progress, and my BIL is now absolutely convinced that he wants
to use the same paint on his Catalina next winter.

The light isn't the greatest in the hangar, but if you check out the
photo of the shoreboat that serves as a fairly good example of the
overall appearance. The "lines" showing in the sides of the hull are
reflections of a nearby wall.

Chuck,
Your boat will look like new, and with the new engine it should feel
like new.

What is the total cost of your refit vs. the cost of a new boat?
Is there anything that you have not rebuilt that will possible give you
trouble in the future?

I am very impressed with the quality of work these guys are doing.
