That looks great - did you have any issues with the floor heights? I'm putting down a layer of insulation under the floor boards and I'm a bit worried I may battle to get the closed heights equal?
No issues with height

How often do you change oil and filters?
Did mine last June (Barrus Shire 45) but only did about 14 days cruising and so far only 6 days this year.
Not sure if I'll do it this year, maybe save the planet by not throwing away perfectly good oil and filters.
I change engine oil & filter & gearbox oil every 250 hours

I have taken the liberty of amending it. If you'd rather I hadn't, let me know and I'll de-amend it.
Thanks just looking how to amend it myself

This suggests that you used stick-on vinyl writing. In view of your subsequent comments, I wonder if you meant "repainting".

It does look good.
Why did you have to do it? Have you polished through the original?
Because it looked like this , as dave said any red fades it was done in bounty red enamel I have used monourethane this time plus I have put three coats on there looked to be only one coat on

Finally got round to repainting the sign writing which was really faded, took hours to mask up but it was worth it , although I used frog masking tape some of the shadowing was pulled of I will have to repaint the shadowing
