after a full day of finishing up getting the sunray ready for primer and paint,i built a stand to get it off of the trailer,under the stern,and used rachet straps to pick up the frontand pull out the trailer,then blocked it up,im hoping to primer and get at least the white done,then the aqua teal and clear it sunday,i hope,lol.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“

The picture of the boat straight ahead remindes me of a hammer head shark with the lights spread out wide. I think if I was lucky enough to have one I would name it hammer head.

Thanks John, just putting it together this a.m., but we have non-boaters coming to visit around 11... :( Hopefully they won't stay long!
