Default Columbia Fiberglass fishing boat

This boat was my grandfather's that he used to take the kids out fishing. It then went to my uncle who decided to paint it camo. My brother and I wanted to restore it so this is what we ended up with.

the camo paint HAD to go, so we used my 4" grinder with a 60 grit pad and went to town. we then patched all holes with Evercoat's "Kitty Hair" (best thing for filling holes ever made!). After that cured we sanded everything smooth and then used Evercoats Formula 27 and sanded that down to prep for paint. We then used Petit one part epoxy paint and did 3 coats, sanding with 220 between coats. For the inside we sanded it down, layed a coat of Evercoats "Skid-No-Mor" and then two coats of grey over that. All new hardware was installed except the aluminum rub rail.

Here you can see the boat between the trailer and the kennel.


Here is the hull sanded down and Kitty Hair applied (dark green globs)


Hull finished


Interior finished

Nice work. The exterior of the hull is a gem. What type of paint did you use for the exterior hull?
