Myself and her indoors went for a look around the boat show when it was on and came to the conclusion that unless we spent 300k we wouldn't be able to better what we have now, which is a long way off 300k! 

So we decided to blow some fun coupons on the current boat and flash it up a bit. 
Got Ohsif aka Allan from Bays Canvas to make us up some new clears and Dan from Boatcoat put a vinyl wrap on it and redid the name. Heres a few before and after photos, very happy with the results. Also getting some new upholstery on the inside but haven't got it in yet.

That's a nice boat - those Billfishers are real weapons.

The usual high quality work from Bays Canvas.
Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water.

Dan is the man, redid the stripes on my boat for a very reasonable price and I had people, asking if I had repainted the whole boat. He does a great job.
