So what do you think? Should I stick with this color?

Well Karen,
You HAD the chance to paint her "PINK" thank you for not doing so.... i.e. down periscope... ya know white lead mixed with red lead paint... There are many of us whom have been scarred by that movie, seein a WWII boat painted pink is horrible... makes for a good movie though.
Thank you for helping preserve the COBIA

Karen
I like that, it should draw attention to the boat, maybe we should try that.
Great to see her getting preserved.

It feels good to work on the boat again. I didn't have time to work on it at all in May and June. Now that the weather is nice and I have the time I can finally work on the project I've been waiting since October to do.
It was fun to paint her red, but I like the grey better
...but not before having a little fun first...
