Well I am still dragging along here. Hope everyone had a good Easter. Mine was good, family events Saturday and Sunday which meant no boat Saturday and Sunday. I did take Monday off from work and tried working on the boat all day. My big goal right now is getting the deck covered in fiberglass and painted. Every time I think I am almost there I find more little technical stuff or details I need to do prior to fiber glassing the deck. I am a go a mile a minute kind of personality but with this project I have learned at times to slow down and just stare at the job and drink a beer. Good ideas pop into my head and I tend to keep problems from occurring that way also.
My progress since my last post. I cleaned up the boat a little. Ground out some of the nasty glass and stuff that has been dropping into the bilge the last 6 months.
Attached some 3/4 plywood for the bilge pumps. I couldn't decide if I wanted them side by side in the back of the bilge or one in the back and one in the front so I just PB'd 3 pieces in place. After they were in I finally decided to put one in back and one in front that way if the boat was docked and had water coming on board the back one should kick on and take care of the issue by itself. If the water level continued to rise then the second one would eventually kick on and assist the first one.
Covered them in fiberglass and a couple of coats of BilgeKote.
Put a coat of resin on the deck and hopefully this week will put down some fiberglass.
