Your doing a great job
going to be a nice boat when your done

well i don't think going to 7000 with cc would yield me anymore gloss i am really against gloss but i just had to see if this stuff would shine and was surprised at how well it does when wet sanded. i mean it is bed liner material but its urethane so i guess it can shine to a extent. i do like the peel that it has on the walking areas though and hopefully it will outlast me

got 2 sides of boat sprayed , now i will need to wet sand buff this out then move boat to the right to finish other side... its just too big to get a nice area around it to work the whole thing at one time

yeah , I hear ya blues are pretty , some of the new blues i have been seeing are stunning as heck.

Looking good. Can we get a shot of the whole boat at once now. Pretty Please. Thing i like so much about your style boat is the not getting wet in the rain and heater ability. Maybe you fdont need heaters in florida. But here it gets chilly..I been looking into a electric on for mine for early spring and fall.

we can use em in winter, remember anything below 60 is freezing for us once i have boat back together then we will have a pic of whole thing lol but atm shes still in 2 pieces , the roof is on so that's one less piece to worry about

Holy smokes you move fast! Thank you for sharing your progress and processes! Cant wait to see her come together. Congrats on the first grandbaby! I really love the monitor/ Android radio combo and will be looking for your write up of that should you choose to do it. Regarding the custom engraved panels... I think I recall seeing that on RH's Finnish journey and want to say it was either GM or Pusher. If not, I apologise to them and you for bad info. Anyhow, looking great!

 

[mickyryan]

yeah i got to get ahold of those guys , thanks for reminder it was rh's project and funny i dont think i seen pusher around lately or gm except in the craigslist forum :0

 

[mickyryan]

so today i sanded the finish back down to get rid of orange peel i will probably just respray, that peel was evil.... but i think the mistake i made was trying to paint it at 2 pm in florida sun , it flashed before it could lay down , so i will aim for a 7 pm shoot this time and see how it does .

You need to get a job! Lookin good Brother!

 

[mickyryan]

i got one i just work all hours when i want i either work during day or i work at night or i work day and night but thats nice part of owning company , i can decide my hours as long as i get my work done I prefer working on plans and doing total dynamic calculations at night when im not interrupted by phone so much 4 hrs of sleep a day gives me plenty of time

 

[kcassells]

BTW....U DA MAN!:joyous:

 

[mickyryan]

Kc i got it licked now man it was the reducer, or lack thereof, i was told not to reduce it but i reduced it this time and it seemed to lay right down

 

[AShipShow]

Dang, looks like you got it fingered out
