Yah but the boats green with black interior. Im leaning to grabber green but still got time to think.

Gonna flip the hull and check out the bottom and practice my color matching skills on the bottom repairs before I try on the bow.

Trying to decide on a green but if not im goin silver. The left is leaf green, middle is grabber green and the right is a metallic green from duplicolor.

X3.

But if I had to vote for a green, I would go with the leaf green on the left.

[Squirrel Master]

[SoCalPSD]

Well motors out

[TrollerDave]

Looks good.

You seemed more interested in green. We didn't talk you into silver did we?

[SoCalPSD]

Nah just couldn't find a green I liked.  Only downside to this color is that its so bright it makes all the polished stuff look worse than it does. So now I need to find a polisher

Wow, Some people should not attempt to be shade tree mechanics!
Just flip the hull upside down and fix it. It isnt that hard of a fix. Just grind off all that drippy resin and clean it up so You can see what it really looks like. then build it up with some csm and shape it back to the right shape.
Here is a pic of what they should look like. This was My 73 Kona, after I blueprinted the bottom. Same hull as yours.

Your boat was beautiful man sucks what happened, well got the patch all chiseled away and well shit. But it doesn't go all the way through

[holorinhal]

Wow! That will take some work to fix, but not impossible. You really do need to flip the hull over. It will make the job alot easier. That repair reaal needs to be done from the inside, but I am afraid that the way the hull is finnished on the inside, it may not be posible.

That looks exciting!  I love the chain around the pump, seemed to have worked out just fine.

[SoCalPSD]

There is a rope there that was use to lift and support it, the chain was there  just in case the rope broke. Couldn't do that up front so we just paid more attention to the the front as it rotated.
