Hi Guys, well I've been hard at it on the restoration of this beauty. I'll be uploading today or tomorrow all the pics thus far.

I've gutted the boat down to 'bare essentials' and she's as solid as a rock. Now for a couple of questions:

1. What colour scheme should I go with on the hull/interior?

2. What colour scheme for the upholstery?

What I mean is can I change from the original - boat light grey and upholstery grey on grey [3 shades of grey.... with red accents] to a more cheerier combination?

One additional question......

Having removed everything from the main deck area I know I can redesign the layout at the back releasing more seating whilst retaining the original location of the 2 oil tanks and batteries and etc. This gives me an additional two seats and a location for a table support at the rear. By doing this will I devalue the boat?

Well that's all for now. Thanks for your input.
