Denny - I'll let you know. The running boards are finish painted on the top but left with etching primer on the bottom. The Line-X shop was talking "less than a 100 bucks" for each fender -- expennnnsive! My wife will surely get a nice piece of new jewelery out of this deal.
Yes, those old boats(1977-1980)are still running, with multi-national (cheap)crews carrying liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from Indonesia to Japan and also from the Persian Gulf to Lake Charles, LA.
