Teal is the hull color and black is the bottom. It's almost chameleon and changes hues based on background, color of nearby objects.

Olsen Marine (Ft. Myers Beach) did the work. Full prep, primer (x2), top coat (x2), and boot stripe all for $125 per foot. Bottom (Interlux Ultra x2) $45 per foot includes haul out and prep.

Of all the boats in the yard, ours had people stopping by talking and commenting on the color and the great job Olsen's did. It's really different. Feels right. Whoa, what is that color? Strangers yelling at us from the docks telling us how much they love the color as we gently put her back in her slip.

Added zincs to the thruster and rudder. Welded the skeg to rudder brace. Added the name graphics. And removed ding from prop.

Really paid off. All systems normal and runs like you know what.

She's a 2005 A28TE with Next Gen generator and AC. Next up, polishing the insides and the topsides.

The teal hull paint is Awlcraft made by Awlgrip. Easier to apply, repair, and maintain.

The hull was previously white.
