Bottom Is Finished


The bottom is painted. 3 coats of Pettit Horizon. The old waterline stripe is still ugly but will remain until we float the boat. We may want to change the water line height or bow to stern set before painting it red.


Look Ma no hands (supports). This sure made the barrier coat and painting easier. The keel support is painted red because Lee wanted all moving trailer parts red and the fixed trailer parts black. I have cut the last 2 cross members out of the old trailer to make it easier to get the trailer out. I'll give the bottom a couple of days to dry and then remove the trailer. Once the trailer is out we will use Mo's support stands as safety's so Lee can get inside the boat and get back to work.
