I know my bow chocks are reversed. I'll fix that tonight.

Nice work! I know how it feels. I just re-did my bottom, fixing blisters and wet core. It was a bear! I feel your pain brother. Again great work!

Paint schemes: I'm not a fan of painting the wedge of the doghouse anything other than white. It makes an already slab sided boat look even more so. Likewise for the wide stripe on the topsides. White topsides with accents like cove and one or more waterline stripes (particularly of decreasing width) help. My friends on Better Mousetrap make a good case for a large logo on the quarter, which it looks like you already have.

I agree
The wide black stripe centered looks best

Rob - great work! I agree with Bob on the light color topside without painting the slab sides. I like the dark stripe by the waterline and toe rail with the wide white band.

Maybe get a Mango tree air brushed on as the one and only Mango Madness!

I still want to go with an all black hull. Maybe I can just install more fans. Thanks for all the input your recommendations are appreciated. Fairing and painting the interior soon. I need a clean ceiling before I remount hardware.
