ok not "new" but after a 48 hour overhaul she looks better than new... Peter went above and beyond helping me out with the mechanical stuff and even fired up his buffer and the gelcoat looks better than the day I picked it up... I also got around to finally sanding/oiling the teak and a few other little projects I keep putting off...
the rig
ready for sanding
nice and smooth
oiled and ready

heat gun + tacky warning stickers
this weekend I finally got around to replacing the stickers with the carbon fiber grant sent me last year - thanks for the bling grant!

kind of hard to tell from the pics but the shine is incredible
ready to tow her home
Thanks again to Peter for all his help. While we were at it I overhauled his laptop and desktop -- somehow I think I got the better end of the deal...
