WOW! That certainly is a major restoration. There was some serious dock rash on the port side. It looks like you had all new gelcoat sprayed on everything, very nice workmanship, but I'm glad I don't have to pay that bill (lol). What are your plans for the engines? Keep the pics coming.
 
Looking sharp! That blue in the back will be very hot in the day time! I had boat about that same color and and it would cook you if yo leaned on it!

I’m also not sure about the blue… and for aesthetic reasons too…
I do not want to criticize, but there something wrong in this color pattern…

That is a lot of work. If you like it- then it's great. The best thing about reconstructing your own boat is you get to do whatever you want! Keep it up!

It was a tough choice breaking the colors in on the back but my goal was a solid color transom. It was two tone at first but just didn't look right. That is when I decided to make the whole back end one color. It looks a little odd but it was the better look of the two choices to me. The engine room was painted too. More pictures soon.

The patch work on the port side were fine cracks that were ground to extengtion then reglassed before primed. The hull was meticulously inspected and repaired. The complete drive train was removed and rebuilt, engines, trans, all new shafts and rudders. Newly rebuilt 8.5kw Westerbeke too.

I agree, The rest of the paint looks outstanding but it just looks like it was masked off in a straight line & shot. Maybe if it somehow tapered into all blue on the transom. (if you like it, That's all that matters, Just my $0.02)

Awesome job & keep the pics comming.

Also, I know this is probably a dumb question but I don't have twin engines so I have no idea but what are the dual levers to port and what are the dual levers to starboard? (on either side of the steering wheel)

The dual levers are port and starboard transmission and throttle.
The paint is AWLGRIP.

I love it! Did you do all the work or did you pay to have it done? In the helm section, the all white dash may cause problems with reflections from either the sun or lights at night. I had one boat that was that way and ended making a dash pad that went up there to keep the glare off of it.
 
Thanks, I had it done by a local marine paint shop during a slow period for them. The hull was painted last May and the helm area painted this May.
