    I decided to coat the forward hatch on the Mephisto Cat with colored gel-coat... - the renewed 'transluscent' (Clear epoxy) coated portion of the hatch was not doing so well in the sun, as you may imagine... It was good for a few months, but then it started looking as old as it did before the restoration...

    I wonder how this transluscent portion did out of the factory back in the day... (You can see a 'Before' picture on Post #94)

    Anyway, now has a nice thick coat of white Gel-coat on it! I'm pretty happy with it. It does not let quite as much light in, but it still lets some in. In any case, it is really not a problem as there is enough light coming in from the portlights. It certainly looks better from the outside.


    News update:
    Somehow I've ended-up the owner (rescuer) of another Commander...
    As it turns out it is C-187 and it is in excellent shape.
