Re: 78 Vector
beautiful boat! I'm in the process of restoring an 81' Vector myself. Love that blue paint! Is it metallic or gloss? What type/brand of paint is it? Did you shoot a clear on top? How is it holding up below the waterline? Don't mean to ask a thousand questions but that color is awesome.

Re: 78 Vector
Thanks! The paint is Alexseal metallic (2-stage) Lagoon Blue (M5991). It seems to be holding up pretty well, but I’m sure not as durable as a gel coat, especially with getting on and off trailer and boat lift bunks, where there are a couple scuffs—from the looks of it, my boat definitely has a recent transom and floor, and hopefully a re-core, but since I couldn’t verify that part myself…if I had done all the structural work myself I would have have invested in a new gel coat at least on the hull… though the local company that painted my hull for me wan’t too excited about doing anything besides paint

Re: 78 Vector
I'm glad to hear your happy with the Alexseal paint. At this point that's the paint i have been leaning towards. The guys who paint boats for a living have been raving about it. Some have said it's better than Awlgrip in ease of application and durability. I have plenty of time to make up my mind though. A lot of work ahead for me before i'm ready to paint!

If you ever consider selling the Vector or interested in a trade for a center console flats boat, please let me know. I am in North Carolina. Have cash in hand. Scott Harrell.
