This boat at last after all its hull paint And lines done I can now turn it over for the deck work to be done
When I was rubbing it down the deck was a light grey and the cabin a dark grey is this right
I have some old deck fittings to remove and make sure the new windows fit there holes
The boats I am keeping have all names for identification S M Harris was its 1st owner Sidney Marlene Harris a carpenter for Vosper marine this boat and my fire boat tender and the two 35s I have was all his

I would rub down with abrasive paper and respray with gloss black, the under side of the hull should be red oxide
