Had a chance to get some stuff done this weekend. I primed and painted my fuel tank after hitting it with 150 grit sandpaper. This was my first experience with a spray gun and it went pretty well. I suspended it from some scaffolding so I could work around it easily.
I also used BilgeKote to paint my fuel cell and rear bilge area.
I added a partition to seperate the area where the fuel filter will be mounted from the bilge and washdown pumps. Wasn't sure if this was a coast guard requirement but thought it might not be a bad idea to isolate the fuel filter in the event any vapors might be ignited by some of the electrical components . You can see the hole where the rigging tube will pass through. Also added another strut that will later help support the rear cap as well as add lateral strength.
