Oh yeah, and we're getting a new boot stripe

Mike is also doing a new boot stripe. We replaced the heavy (160 pounds each) AGM batteries with the much lighter (80 pounds each)LiFeP0(lithium Iron Phosphate) ones. This change had Volta sitting about seven inches higher on theh water than before. So, "we" needed to redo the bootstripe. My tacky tape is already THANKFULLY gone and the bottom paint removed where it was too far above the water line. Mike put primer on the fiberglas and ten used the hull paint (Fine Paints of Europe) primer, then brilliant, then 3 coats of satin finish. It was all ready for the final coat of satin when we visited yesterday. Can't wait to see her with a REAL bootstripe. Here are the before pictures.
