Well hot damn, I finally figured out the photo posting. Seems to be a little different for a MAC This is MichaelA's 20. The usual new transom, floor OK. Repaint with one part poly. Wood is salvaged Brazilian cherry flooring. New 115 Opti Apollo prop. 41 mph GPS. Found this site about the time everything was done but enjoy reading every day.

Nice boat, but I am even more impressed with your lawn. Is that real grass or that new Brady Brunch synthetic grass?

Real grass, I just spray paint it green every couple of months.

Brady Brunch- late breakfast or early lunch?

Very late lunch. Have you seen Alice`s knife skills?
Nice use of the leftover cherry. Like the montauk style windshield too.

Another possibility- create a profile mold of your hull and laminate 1/8 strips of mohog with West System. Trim on edge on the table saw, I know sounds scary but works. Use this at your own risk. Bolt or and screw on edge, plug. Teak with all of it's oils does not glue well.

Looks great

I like the off white color you chose for the innards. I will be curious to know how the 1-part paint holds up because it sounds alot easier than potentially poisoning yourself with Awlgrip. It looks like you are getting pretty good speed out of the Opti too!

I have sprayed Imiorn and looked at Agrip before painting this. I used Interlux Brightside Polyurethane and their primer Pre-Kote. Shot with a cheap pressure pot spray gun, outside. I was very happy with the results. This is the third year on the paint job without wax and there is still great gloss. There is some wear on the deck but real easy to roll on another coat. Interlux also recommends this paint also for the roll and tip technique. Make sure you keep a wet edge as you spray.

Michael_A,

Those appear to be some VERY nice spray rails you have on the work of nauticl art. Do you care to share details about them; material, dimensions, supplier, fastening method, self -installed or pro? You get the idea.

Thaks in advance.
