Paint Job

[Billybob]

Merriweather - It took me a year to redo "The Beach Blonde" BUT most of that was recoring panels, and redoing console, then you got wiring, rigging, and of course the bottom got completely stripped and barrier coated, and some transom work.Assuming I had nothing to do but prep and shoot, I could have done it in a couple weeks.Of course, here in Ct., it was May before I could either mix epoxy or paint.I would say that if your boat is all rock solid, and all you're looking to do is prep/paint - then all you can get sarted on now is removing hardware and sanding.Unless you can get it in a shed somewhere.I know it's hard, every night I pull in the driveway and there she is all covered up with a foot of hard snow on top, and I got a few projects I want to get done in the spring too.But I'll tell you, after sweating like a dog (o.k. they don't sweat) all summer long on that thing, it was one good feeling when I finally took that first ride in Sept.
