Its nice to have a second pair of hands when your laying on the top.

I went around the edges where I had only used non-waxed gellcoat before, this should add some shine and keep it cleaner looking.



Radar dome is on and cable is run down, along with all the rest of the stuff on the top is done and sealed up!



Taped and rolled the forward part of the main deck.



While waiting on drying nonskid I was working on re-doing the T-top box. Still needs a filler panel in the middle and wiring. The VHF is now installed under the CD deck.

Hi Patrick,

May I ask what product you are painting the deck with? Will be doing the same before too long. Looking real nice!

Norm

Its called Kiwi grip. I got it at Jamestown dist, goes on with their special roller. Its sensitive to how thick the material is, and how much you 'work' the material.

I just used Kiwi Grip on my skiff and can't say enough good things about the stuff. No stirring, priming, just lay it down and roll super easy. Will be using it my 23 SC as well.

Looks like good stuff. I used Durabak on a small boat I had and liked it other than it absorbing too much dirt and being somewhat difficult to clean. Was thinking about doing the sand thing with single part polyurethane but didn't want a high gloss on top of it. This looks like a good option!

HA! I wish! I have been out 'fishing' 3 times in the last month, and they was mostly beer cruzes.
I am up to myass in alligators at work right now, have 5 guys (including myself) doing 40-50hrs a week and still falling behind! I took on a ton of new customers, and I couldn't staff up fast enough (typical lower cape story) and its causing me heartburn.
Oh yea and the wife is due in less than 4 weeks, another source of heartburn.
Boat still does not have a motor, heartburn #3...

Congrats on your Trifecta!! Sounds like you'll have a very busy summer....especially in another 4 weeks. Best of luck with the little on the way... My 5 year old won't let me leave him at home any more!!
Thought you had your engine ordered and delivered? I'm curious how it sits as I'm thinking about twin 150-200 etecs on a Hermco bracket for the Sceptre. All the best, Steve

had recently purchased a*1978 Center Console Seacraft. I am getting
ready to restore it however,*their are a few questions I would like to ask.
Their are square holes on each side of the motor well that are covered with
plexiglass and when I took the plexiglass off the holes appeared to be
recessed. Are they just access holes to the bilge or am I missing something?
If possible, I would greatly appreciate if you could send any other
information and pictures with this model boat.
*
Regards,
Jpimminc
