33 years ago, I purchased this boat new, with the color scheme of a Landfall 38 (sand colored hull, white cabin, burgundy cove and boot stripes) (Ericson demanded extra deposit for the colors, then used it in an ad, Ericson 38 vs. Landfall 38!).
Alas, the yard in Westchester County, NY commissioning the boat spelled the name wrong ("Mel's Angle" instead of "Mel's Angel") and a chastised yard worker angrily ground the paint off with an abrasive buffer. I was livid.
Despite the age of the hull, the boat looks very nice, although the hull is faded. But the transom looks awful.
Short of a costly awlgripping of the whole hull, I wonder if anyone has any experience applying any laminates to the transom that, being reverse, takes an awful beating from the sun.
Ideas gratefully accepted!
