Re: 1961 Lonestar "Flamingo" - I finally Started w/pics
Well, been quite a while since I've had any time to work on the BF!!! I KNOW she's been feeling neglected and when I untarped her I could sure see why!!!
What a dirty mess!! The Admiral went to the kids for the weekend for a Baby shower for our upcoming 4th grandchild soooo...I stayed home to work on the boat. We're having an unusually Mild August in Okie land and the temps were in the low to mid 80's all weekend so this OLD OKIE was able to get some Boat Time!!! I got the inside all re-worked (Sanded and 3 coats of epoxy on deck and seat pyramids) and re-painted and almost went Snow Blind from all the White!!! (Pics tonite) Gunna do the fake "Zolatoning" tonite. I also need to attach the gunwale treads. (Never have done that either.) I sanded and prepped all the "Scars" from the "Dock Wars" from the Maiden Launch and will mix up some paint and attempt to "PreVal Spray" the touch ups and then wet sand em out. I'll let you know (with Pics) how that turns out. Hope to get all this done in the evenings this week and hit the lake next weekend. I've been in the woodshop knocking out a LOT of projects for Family and Friends but almost totally caught up now so, the BF WILL get the finishing touches in the next several weeks and be checked off as complete. Well.... except for the fact I'm still looking to upgrade to a 70 hp but andgott and that old 70 hp Merc' is still in Tenn. and that's a LOOOOOOOOONG ways away. Maybe someday!!!!
That's my picture-less update and I KNOW it doesn't count!!!!!
