Thanks Al .Yeah I hated to pull it right in the middle of our season but wanted to get ahead of the rush in the fall . Here is another pic . Replacing shaft and rudder zincs also.Good luck, Marty!
Don't you just hate seeing your boat in the air on slings like a fish out of water?

Marty,

......
That's a good one Al , but just the other day a guy told me he saw someone shorter than me but it cost him a quarter .LOL! Marty's only 3' 11"...stretched!
Replacing shaft and rudder zincs also.
What metal are your anodes? Zinc, Aluminum, magnesium? We spend a lot of time in brackish water, and also some fresh water, as well as salt water. We switched to Aluminum, for our application.
Thanks Paul , The yard really likes to use black in this area . I would rather go back with red but I'm going with their suggestion . I'm going to lower the bottom paint line aft about 4" and raise the the bottom paint line about 2 or 3" at the bow . Then I'm adding a burgundy boot stripe about 4 to 5" wide on top of that .Man that is great, I just had the conversation yesterday with the electrician about getting the Rose ready for the 5 hour trip to the yard. 4 weeks and I'll be swinging in the breeze. William is looking good, are you going back with the same color?
Sunset Harbor Hill in Murray ,Ky. hauled the boat out and is doing the bottom job . It's 22 miles north of Paris Landing .
Thanks cardude .Good looking boat in and out of the water. Amazing how they seem to grow when out of the water.
Getting deeper into bottom job and repairs William is revealing some interesting previous bottom work . At some point after the original build somebody decided to flatten out the aft sections . Not sure why or when this was done .I know that early on she was a work boat with reel in the aft deck and outriggers . It doesn't appear to be a repair because it was done on both sides .
Eric , or anyone if you're looking on maybe you help me understand why someone would want to modify /flatten out the hull aft sections .
