After 7 coats of primer and fairing I finally got the hull to smooth enough finish that I felt good about painting over. Started on the bottom side with a very light grey that will be the final finish on the bottom. I don't plan on keeping it in the water no longer than 2 days so no bottom paint. This is the first coat. It came out super smooth with no problems other than one or two nats in it. Turned out slick as glass. I used a 2 part poly urethane called perfection from interlux. The sides will be blue and the inside white with the original floor pattern back in it with non-skid

I have been trying to get the inside of the boat ready for paint, I am filling all the old holes were the pads were and also the holes from the controls on the dash. I want a nice new hole free hull so that when rigging I can set all the new equipment in fresh new holes in the locations I like. Once the holes are filled I will sand them back and fair them in and start priming the inside with 2 part epoxy primer.

Finally got some color on the hull over the labor day weekend. The bottom had 3 coats of two part poly urethane in light grey and the sides are painted Carolina blue. I got the inside primed with epoxy primer and faired out smooth after 3-4 rounds of epoxy filler and recoating. Once I get the last coat on the hull sides I will spray the inside white and redo the factory floor stripes with the grey same as the bottom but with awl grip nonskid aditive. Good to see it coming together and I can't wait to finish it so I can put more time in the 25' seafari. Note- the small trees behind the boat grew while the boat has blocked the mower if that tells you how long this has drawn out.
