Well as some of you know I have taken on a job in a marina as a boat painter. I have been ther for just over 3 months now and I love it there. When I walked in the door the 1st day, I was put on a complete paint project of a 53' Canoe Cove motor yacht. It was in primer when I 1st saw it. Well today it finally went in the water! I have many hours into this boat, and have alot more respect for the big cruisers.

Here is a pic of it in primer before all the fininsh sanding

Great job! :vcol: Did the owners do a complete overhaul of the boat (interior, etc.), or was it just repainted?
