18 SF Minor Rennovation and misc. Improvements

[fdheld34]

Well, I decided to start one main thread on my 18sf instead of jumping around and confusing myself. Again, I purchased boat for son to use in about 10 more years..I will use till then!!!

I decided to concentrate on hull sides first to keep the neighbor happy!!
I used Interlux Primer and finish coat I used Interlux Perfection. I filled holes gouges etc, faired and then sprayed the primer and rolled the three final coats. Do not have to worry about raising transom already done from inside. After discussion with other CSC members etc. I decided to go with a basic white exterior and black boot stripes with basic black decal, due to ease of touchups and minimal fading etc.

Next I will focus on rubrail and exterior hardware (bow and stern eyes etc.). Then I will move to interior- fuel tank replacement, recore fuel hatch etc. etc.

I will update on progress as time permits (doing this in my spare time). I plan on keeping this boat as simple as possible!!!

Here is where I am now..final coat on exterior completed with stripes and basic stickers.
