Thanks Jim, not sure if she will get red tomorrow or Monday, gotta sand tomorrow. Ready to go would be nice but the water is a little hard. -23 overnight and -17 for a high tomorrow.

I heard on the radio the other day that this is the 5th warmest winter ever worldwide. It seems that over half of North America is just the opposite.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the paint work.

Thanks 64, I've read the same thing on the weather, but it has surely dumped some strange weather on parts of the world and made parts of North America seem more like the Arctic this winter.

Looking forward to seeing that tin with some shine on!

Hi I have been watching ur work for a while and it is fantastic. My wife has even said "it's time to redo mine" !!
Great job. Quick question, it is hard to see under the bow in the pictures as it is black can you tell me what is on the sides, looks nice and clean.

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

over half of North America is just the opposite. what seems to have happened is that Alaska and the Yukon sent us their weather....they've had record highs there and avalanche problems.

Thanks for stopping by and the compliments fogducker1, The floor has Nautalex Shark grey vinyl, and the insides of the hull have Charcoal grey marine carpet on them.

Isn't that the truth B2.

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

Murphy made his presents know in the hanger this morning, got the first coat of red on, but it is going to need some sanding and a second coat. First off when I drained the compressor I tilted it back to get the last of the water out and pulled the plug out of the wall most of the way, so I ran out of air and started dribbling paint when I started painting. Then Proform Wet Look hardener doesn't come with any tech info and there is none on the site, I found that it does not need to cook in the in pot for 30 minutes as does Valspar, maybe 10, so it started to go off when I was down to one side left and it plugged the strainer in the spray gun. Oh well got the first coat of read on, now sand it off for the next one.

Pics later.
