And so it begins .....again

transom was done today cut it to 26 1/2 . got dark so no pictures .

will be wrapping it up in the next few days and fairing it. the top gunnel will be next to go on a little (no who am I kidding) sanding and off to get painted. It may be a late summer boat.

Even the Admiral came out and was pushing me to get'er done

And it's sitting on the trailer too

Needs another layer of glass to wrap it up and then sanding fairing which should be done by weekend

[jorgeinmiami]

Put the cap back on today caulked and screwed in

Wife pulled up in the driveway and she said it's starting to look like a boat again

[jorgeinmiami]

So with a 70% chance of rain today I guess there won't be any glassing or sanding today.

But a question... I want to add an additional layer of mat to the floor. What may should I use to finish it off?

Guess I'll be working on the trailer

So I'm getting to the point where I have to start looking at what paint I'm going to be using.

I've heard of the genius bucket, and a lot of other paints.

I hav3 someone the knows whats he's doing that would spray whichever product I decide on.

So what are some of the favorites that he been used and the pros and cons to them


Getting exited to get'er done soon.

Was looking at various power options also and I'm in between a 140 zuke or a merc 150 to 200 ers.
I think a yamaha 150 may be to heavy

Signature Finish paint has the advantages of being very durable and user friendly, is easily repairable and can be buffed, no primer required, can be ordered in any color you want, and will hold up below the waterline, where most urethane paints will bubble. Is marketed for DIY types, basically roll & tip. I'm sure it can be sprayed, but no directions on web site for spraying, so may need to contact owner Tom for more guidance on spraying it. Has been used by Capt. Chuck, DonV and myself with good results.
