Blasted the inside of the 19 and bottom of the 23. Got lucky, no barrier coat on the 23 but it was pretty thick in some places.
Flipped the 19 over to get the bottom sanded and ready for primer.
With the bottom paint off it lets the good looks of these hulls shine!!!!!
Also forgot how good these hulls look upside down.

When you paint the hull, if you paint the vertical steps a contrasting color, it really highlights the unique variable deadrise hull! Got the idea from Moesly, who did that on SI-VAD, a race boat that was his first VDH prototype! http://www.moeslyseacraft.com/history.html

I like the way u painted the steps. Remember seeing that when I did my first 23' back n 2006 and said I will take the time on one seacraft one day and do that.
It looks really cool on the old 21's. I think 3rdday??? did it to his

Couple more after first round of sanding. Last one is my favorite

I think I said this before, but I wish I could of flipped the 21...it would of saved me a year in build time...LOL

Yeah the last two Seacrafts I redid I also blasted the bottoms and then had to lay on the ground and sand that way. That was hard on the arms. Sand after blasting, then fair the bottom, sand again, fill any last small holes, sand again, prime (on ur back), sand, then paint (on ur back). This next 23' looks like I will b on my back sanding. Just depends on how deep we get into the rebuild. Would be nice to flip this next 23' tho

I want ur boat when u sell it. Looks awesome. It has style and class

You mean like this?! http://s188.photobucket.com/user/dkb...1051d.pbw.html

Exactly. Was think n of taking a creeper and putting some oversized tires on it so it will roll on this gravel. Just been putting down old carpet before

Not sure about the oversized wheels might try putting down some plywood down and roll on it . Drilling a couple holes and putting rope thru them for handles will make it easier to relocate the plywood when needed

Donnie, boat is coming along nicely. I will try to get with you in the next couple of days to get that trailer.Thanks again
