I've decided for now that she doesn't need to be as shiny as a milk truck. We've done our best brightwork for the time being and I began to add decals and the boat number today. There's alot of boat to cover, so it should lead room for some pretty cool artwork.
I'm most concerned about whether or not a protective coat of oxidized aluminum has been buffed off. I guess we'll find out when our boat starts turning black over time. She's beautiful though and looking better all the time. We still have to figure out lighting, the bilge and finalize floatation options (the hoppity hops probably work well, but we've not tried to sink her yet).
I'm super excited about our planned run of Staples to Luling this next Sunday. It should be most awesome.
