well with now a fleet of boats and retirement upon me at last and all the other distractions I have got the final bottom of the boat painted, I have gone with the original red seems bit bright but it will mellow the next is make sure my boat cradle doesn't rub and start painting the black am I right in going with flat black over satin gloss

This is another one of the fleet thats had two new brushed motors and new prop shafts and some repairs to the planked deck my workshop is a bit like a boat builders yard and at the other end railway buildings being built
