Yes it is the shark grey. I'm crossing my fingers that it sticks well. I only did half the boat at a time and by the time I got to the back it was not that tacky. It told me to let it sit and that is what I did. Cross your fingers or else I'm dropping another 90 on glue!

Did you use the Nautolex adhesive or contact cement?

Love that shark gray :thumb:

Yeah coils either work or they don't, the only thing more simple than a coil is a rock. I've replaced a few but always found it was something else so now I just move on to the next suspected problem to test.

Did you use rivets or screw to fasten the decking?

She's looking real good, nice job on the shine.

That looks great Jay! I didn't realize you had installed the flooring yet. I think the extra cost of the Nautolux will pay dividends for you in the future. BTW, I'm wondering if anyone recognizes the back yard?

 

[anderso8623]

I went with screws. Any suggestion on prop size? I looked all over the prop and found no markings. I know there is a formula but I don't want to look it up let alone do the math!

Goodies came in but I am unfortunately waiting on paint to drive! I hate waiting for paint to dry! Especially when you can only paint one side at a time!

 

[anderso8623]

More paint drying! I did get the seat pedestals in today and also have the transom in place and ready to bolt into place. I'll be gone for the weekend so progress will have to start back up monday.

Hey a new helm, that's going to be nice! Paint, spar, glue... yeah waiting is hardest part. :lol:

Doubled up last night! What is something fun I van buy for the boat?...

 

[Watermann]

We have a winner! How about a bimini? New spare prop?(size should be stamped under the prop nut washer.) New steering wheel to go with the new helm? Transom saver. motor toter, bling wheels for the trailer. The list is never ending.

 

[anderso8623]

Slow progress but guess what I installed! Lol. I did get the console front bolted on as well.
