MG56, is your issue with the restoration that the boat is now "thicker" than the original. I reviewed the slide show and I do not see where the original lines were compromised or changed. Are you happening to look at this as a "good paint job"? Part of me understands the lack of true restoration. The other part of me is enthralled with the craftsmanship to present an old hull to "from the factory condition" with materials as close to possible to factory original.
