Paul, welcome and thanks for the initial photos of your Commander. Good to hear you have been enjoying her. Was she already in the DC area when you bought her? Never saw her listed. You have good taste, how can one go wrong with an Alberg design? Will you be re-doing the gel coat yourself, as you mentioned? She looks good, with the exception of the distasteful outboard motor bracket, which as you know is an easy fix. Her interior looks incredibly clean and well maintained. It's interesting how Pearson changed the profile of the bulkheads as production went along. Have you hauled her to see her bottom sides / rudder, etc.?
What's her name?
Thanks again and welcome.
Respectfully,
Chance Smith
