No pics of how I got it over to begin with...cause I was figuring it out as I went

Now I'm hoping the stripping/sanding will go a bit easier.

Cheers All!

Well done ts, no worries with the pics cause i bet you had your hands full anyway!

Nice job! If you have one available, throw a canopy over it, will help the stripper from drying so quick. Besides, that's how us real hillbillies do it

I hear ya, I set up a cheapo canopy sort of half in the boat and half outside the boat just to try and get some shade on one of the first days I started stripping paint (I think you can see it in one of my earlier pics), but we've had winds of 15mph-30mph (with gusts up to 50mph) for what seems like a week now...

Once the wind finally calms down I'll probably rig something up again. Maybe this time I'll actually try to put it OVER the boat.

So I wonder if this rig is still hanging upside down??!!

What are you up to ts??

Cheers!
