My Bennington 2275RL with the pretty common Creme color panels with the tin on the outside of the fencing ...I am wanting to Change the color of the tin and also wondering if the Tin could be put on the inside of the railing instead of the outside to help from Denting and showing buoy leaves...

FINALLY got around to finishing up my under skinning and I have to say the back portion was the hardest part of the whole boat ..but very pleased at how it turned out ....now lets see some SUN!!

I bought my sheets from a Steel mill here locally ...... the bad part is now its up to $135 a sheet 4x8 and last year it was $70 and it takes 3 sheets
