Originally I thought you should perserve the wood grain. Kind of rare to see the whole deck like that. Now that its painted it makes the woodgrain look like that old 70's paneling we used to have in our house next to the cork and mirror squares. Bitchen paint job.

Here are some pics of the progress that we made on the Kona this weekend.

Thanks,
This thing is sooo close to getting wet.  I am waiting on a dip stick (I broke the tube on mine  ) and a throttle bracket.  Hopefully I can get to the lake at the end of the week and see how it runs. 
These pics do not do it justice, the boat was dirty.  I washed and put the first coat of wax on it last night.  Thats kind of funny because I thought that I was going to have to use good ol school paste wax, but the painter told me to use turttle wax spray wax (that is all he uses on his boats).  I have been using that on my dads bass boat for years and thought that I would be told that it was not good enough.

Thanx for the pic's , I am gonna steal your idea on the speakers.

No prob.  One suggestion:  On the front speakers, I would reccomend moving them back closer to the seats if you are going to use side panels like I did.  I put the pockets where I probably should have put the speakers.  The sound seems to get trapped under the bow.  But don't get me wrong, it is still pretty loud.  I was in the pool yesterday (in the back yard) and my dad turned on the stereo (in the front yard) to show a friend and I could hear it very clear.  Not bad for some Clarions and a Bazooka.

Hi Kona

Great job. 

Glad to see another project hit the water.  (hint: 2sav)
