Well, just finished shooting the transom with some color. Overall pretty happy with it although it was a little bit windy and that made it difficult to get a good gloss on her.
After I shoot the cap later this week, I think I will concentrate on cutting the hole for the live well and the plumbing it in. After that, time to hang the bracket! |

Thanks. Getting pretty excited now. Still on the hunt for an engine but might have found a couple that interest me. One is a 07 suzuki 140 that is still on a boat so I can sea trial it. Hope to check it out next weekend if he still has it...

Topflight-
Congrats. It is looking great. I have been casually reviewing your progress as I started my transom, but you are ahead of me. Sounds like the hull sides are original color. What product, method, gun, etc did you use for the nice finish on your transom? Looking like you may make your goal of Fathers day! I am hoping to do my first Seacast pour later today when it gets warmer in SC. Best wishes |

capt terry - the paint is Nason industrial enamel., same as I used on the sides. The gun is a harbor fright HVLP cheapy gun I got for $9.95
![]() FWIW - I have painted dozens of classic muscle cars & trucks, and several boats and have found that I can pretty much shoot any gun as long as it has been properly cleaned etc. especially with solid colors. Metallics are a little more tricky This Angler was one of my last boat projects before this one |

Very well done and thx for your reply. Don’t think I have shot anything since my Devilbiss on all the French doors during our build in 1991 on Hidden River in Palm City. Will share a little transom rebuild info at another time.

Getting closer and closer. Painted the cap and inner transom area this afternoon. Next steps will be to cut a hole in the cap for the live well lid and then make a set of doors for the bilge access.
