Calling in the Pros - 50 Year Old Boat Transformation

Anticipation has turned 50 this year! And she needs a HUGE facelift. We spent the last few years tackling some really big projects, but there's one more big hurdle before we can get this project signed off... Getting the boat painted! After the other boat we looked at failed the survey, we decided to use that money to go ahead and hire professional help to get this project DONE. And not only get it done faster, but at a much higher quality than we could do ourselves. HOWEVER, we still had to wrap up some of the work ourselves before we could get her ready for her appointment with the painting professionals! We had the yard use Awlgrip paints to move away from the outdated gel coat from the 1970s, as well as a new paint scheme to really make Anticipation stand out! What do you think of her new look?? Huge thanks to our friends over at @SailingPAPILLON for their assistance getting the boat moved (twice!)
