I'm not really a flashy type guy, I have no problem driving old cars and trucks kind of person.
But the engine on my fishing boat was getting a bit too rough looking even for me.
So I ended up with a day project.
I did a little research, located the paint I needed online, the original decals were just not available that I could find, so I found a substitute that I thought would work for $30 I believe I spent on them. I hit the store for some primer etc.
I stripped the cowling down and repainted it, clear coated it and slapped a couple decals on it.
I think it looks pretty good for a quick job if I do say so myself.
Just in case anyone wants to inform me that I missed a spot, I liked the look of the white section below the power head, so I left it like that for now, if I change my mind easy enough to paint over.

"not flashy"?......what bout all the teenage girls walking by that you flash and eye with bad intent???........after all your name is "aqualung"!.......but anyways,looks good but I am afraid it doesnt match the character of the boat any longer.Please remove the sticker and scuff up the paint.
