This isn't the only upgrade I'm doing this autumn. I'm having the boat detailed and ceramic coated, which will protect the paint and finish and prevent fading. It'll also increase the marketability of the boat when it's time to sell. The ceramic coating should last at least five years, especially if I continue to stow the boat in my garage every winter.

The cost of this entire upgrade should be covered by charter revenues for the end of September and October. (3/3)
