The bottom was painted last summer (2018) and the boat has never had a blister.  There is bimini canvas - although we typically do not have it up (as in some photos) as we rarely use the flybridge deck or helm.  The Cummins QSL9 currently has 1475 hours and the generator has 731 hours.  The boat operates very economically at 7 - 7.5 kts - we averaged 3.9 NMPG both going to and coming back from Cayo Costa recently.  For the past 1100+ NM we've averaged 3.5 NMPG.  The boat will easily cruise at 10+ kts although we prefer the economy of the slower speed.  There are 290 gallons of usable (we've accurately measured it) fuel and 186 gallons of usable water in the tanks.  We've had periodic analysis of all oils completed by Lubriport Labs in Louisiana.  "Slow Dance" is a Very Nice Boat that we wouldn't hesitate selling to a friend.
