Sounds like you had a great time.
After we first took Elsker Vann (V-222) out we also came back with two pages of work to do to her. Each time we crossed one item off we added two more until the list grew to 4 pages. We kept at it until finally we ran out of things to add to the list. Once we finally crossed the last item off the list we had a list burning party. At the party my wife said "after all the work we've done to this boat I don't think I'd ever want to sell it." 3 weeks later a Mac 26D followed us home. Along the way my wife said "When we get home I'll create a Craigslist ad for Elsker Vann."... The story continues...
Ha Ha. that is SUCH a familiar story to me. I did the same thing with hot rods for years. I'd spend a year buried in the garage designing/building, but just as the end for one was in sight, the next one always lit a new fire. But I'm better now
Boot stripe and trim are both oem gelcoat. I polished the hull 2 years ago with Presta (and waxed) but since then it's just a wash once in a wile until yesterdays re-wax.
Your red stripes make me jealous with my factory original black.
As others have done, I re-routed the cockpit and motor well drains. They were constantly getting clogged. Motor well goes straight back with a 3" piece of pvc pipe.
Cockpit drain is also now in pvc pipe, heated and bent to fit.

My photo of modifications in the lazaret is hard to see what's been done, but here it is. You're looking down through the open hatch. Wires to outboard above, new PVC pipe band clamped to a stub of the original plastic hose, and bilge pump pipe below that. The bilge pump pipe loops high before exiting through the through-hull fitting.
