Finished the bottom today. 1-1/2 gallons (5 coats) of Interlux VC Performance 2 part. This stuff is hard as nails, in fact it says right on the can, "Sand at 15 hours after the final coat or you won't be able to". I had a test piece and hit it with some 80 grit after 3 days and barely scratched it...
After looking at it for a hour or so after I pulled the tape I decided that a red stripe would look good, so off to West Marine I went. This is how it came out.
Now here's a mouthfull of rivets.. Note the staineless steel guard, this is where the bow chock hits on the trailer. It came with the keel guard I bought. Which, by the way, did not work out for me. Too many rivets and it looked like crap.
I finished all I could do on the boat for the day so I cleaned up the rust on the trailer, spot primed it and rattle canned it with some rustoleum. I came out nice. I'll put the bunks back on tomorrow with all new hardware.
Here's a shot of how the bow rider area came out with the new apholstery. I changed the width from 4" to 7" so when the pads are in, it's like one continous seat. The pads are being made, I'll show them later.
That's the marine vinyl on the cap. Looks almost like carpet.
Next week the trailer will go back under her and then the engine will go on. It'll be the Mariner since all the controls are already in and the Yami uses electronic controls vs. cable. I want to go fishing and the fastest way to get there now is with the Mariner.
the lettering looks great on her
