Looks great. What is the dark grey goo? I'm keeping a close eye on this project. My next restore will probably be my Hustler tunnel. Thanks for updating.

I think I'm going with something close to the Smoken Joe hydroplane colors

I will run the boat this summer and get it rigged right first & next winter for a face lift, you do have a good point. I have a year to figure that out Thanks

Hopefully, Bob will check in and tell us about his first time on the water w- the boat.

Looks great!!
