Mike,
I believe your father came over and looked at my blue Seafari a while back.when he was down...before Don Herman did the transom and flotation bracket work.

Re: Tsunami 1st coat finish
 

Ok..I really left myself wide open for that one :o

Mike, I sold the blue Seafari a while back to a nice man in Tallahassee, FL..about 3 months after your dad came by with his friend. I was not at home when your dad came by, would of liked to have met him.

Continuing on with the driveway paint job.....
Well, I was able to break away from the office early today due to flue like symptoms and I was able to get the first topcoat finish on the hullsides..
Forgot to take pictures..but took some this evening(a little dark out)..the paint still appears to be darkening up and is still a bit tacky. This Pettit poly is so easy to work with compared to the other one part polys I have used (Brightsides & Epifanes)It levels out real nice especially with dry roller and a little goes a long way. I did not have to use any brushing thinner or any thinner for that matter. Obviously wont be as durable as Awlgrip but good enough for my needs.
I used one wet sponge roller followed by a dry sponge roller...really beats tipping with a brush. Picked idea up from Denny "Bushwacker"
Here are some pictures..I am going to lightly sand tomorrow and do second coat..then move onto start of bottom prep on Sunday..unless I need a third coat. Again pics are dark and flash was going off.

Re: Tsunami 1st coat finish
 

Excellent choice of color. Sky Blue?

Re: Tsunami 1st coat finish
 

Looking Good, Fred. Hey, just a curiosity but are the scuppers thru-hull on that rig I presume the pipes on the transom in previous set of pics are exhaust.

Re: Tsunami 1st coat finish
 

Thanks.. It is drying just a little darker than sky blue... it is ocean blue

Gillie,
yes scuppers are thru hull..no garboard type transom drain plug either..and you are correct... previous pics showing fiberglass exhaust tubes thru transom (those rubber type flappers fit over the outside of the exhaust tubes)

Re: Tsunami 1st coat finish
 

So thats what my boat looked like at 1 time Hah thats pretty sweet. Thats prob pretty close to the original gelcoat on my boat.

Re: Tsunami 1st coat finish
