Now that the boat is done the memories are all good but when I was doing the boat (150 days of work) there were a few days of frustration and just pure hard work. After I got done I realized that if I would not have put a time of completion date on the project and if I would have bought more beer I probably would not have had any frustrating days at all.

I have been in the water for approx 1 ½ years not I painted both the inside and out with Sterling two part marine paint with the roll and tip method works pretty good. As for the sanding process I went through two orbital sanders from Sears and approx 5-7 days of sanding to get right. I would do it again if I had to. The old paint was a car enamel and I had major concerns about painting over it.
