1977 MA 20 Rebuild

Next we finished the rigging of the pumps and salt water wash down and got ready to re install the floor using Coosa board

Then came the floor and a lot of fairing compound !

We then went to work on the gunnels and reworking the transom. We really liked the radius look on the transom. On the gunnels we sanded everything down and used fairing compound to get rid of the rough carpet look and give the boats finished look.

Transom after several coats of fairing compound.

So after two and a half months of non stop sanding and cleaning and fairing we finally got the boat sanded and ready for paint this past week. We decided to go with Imron over awlgrip given our past experiences and also given our experience spraying Imron vs never spraying awlgrip. We are beyond happy with how well it came out.

More of the hull

And the bracket. We plan on doing a white boot stripe and a real bottom paint. The inside of the boat will be Snow White and the non skid awlgrip aqua mist. Our next big step is spraying the gunnels and the cap which we will hopefully do this week along with the top of the bracket. Then the fun begins with putting everything back together. We also plan on spraying the suzuki 140 white as well.

Looking Real Good Mike!

Your on the way to the "Gucci Award" don't disappoint me....
I have one recommendation thou. You have mounted your pump correctly & used top notch bilge plumbing, but I think a S/S inline fuel shut off valve (coming from the fuel tank)
next to your fuel / water separator for easy access would be a sound safety addition.
