Finnish fishing boat overhaul [Splashed 2017]

[redneck joe]

I really wish it would have worked out for you to cruise over. Oh well, we seem to visit every few years there should be another opportunity. That said if you do ever want to cruise and I'm not coming over I'll hook you up wit my family. They are blow boaters and can probably get you into their marina for a few days.

 

[Red Herring]

It is! Would've been great, and I'm waiting for the next opportunity to come over. At that point I can probably be sure the boat handles a trip like that!

Thanks everyone, will post more soon!

Looking awesome! You must be working feverishly with the completion in sight almost there Red

 

[Red Herring]

Dash done!

 

[redneck joe]

sweet.

 

[nurseman]

I like it! Nice and clean. Red, the boat is looking absolutely awesome! Looking forward to the splash!

 

[Pusher]

That's going to look great with the clean white and your squared off switch panels

 

[Red Herring]

Sneak preview! It's a deep navy blue, but looks very black in this light. Just a test paint for now, but it'll be good!

 

[Pusher]

That is NICCEEEEE. I hope this work of art makes it into one of your films.

That is a great mirror finish! AWESOME!!

 

[Pusher]

They must have better paint bases in the old world ;-)

 

[Teamster]

That is gonna be so awesome,.....

 

[Red Herring]

The paint seems remarkably good, it's a dutch brand called De Ijssel double coat, a two part polyurethane with some added polyester(at least). You can roll it with a foam roller and it ends up like what you see in the photo. Really impressed, and this was just a quick and dirty tryout.

 

[redneck joe]

Wow thats rolled.....

hey red we made it. Going out in the blowboat sometime this week I'll raise a beverage your way.

 

[Red Herring]

Sk?l! Hope the weather does Denmark justice! I'll catch you there the next time you're around!

The dash is in it's place:

Simply amazing. Well done! I think we may have a splash of the year coming your way! Truly an amazing job and a boat any yachtsman or boat owner would be both happy and proud to own and brag about. Maybe later you should hook up a built in beer keg and tap!

Sk?l! Hope the weather does Denmark justice! I'll catch you there the next time you're around!

we did great, weather was just perfect and sailing day was even more perfect.

You need to plan for a visit during the summer festival. We'll be back in two years but you should go. Three day party.

[redneck joe]

I see you got hit by the bucket... I've moved to Google pics


so here is what you missed in DK. 1700 people lunching then probably 1500 of those partying into the next day

my beautiful pointing to our seat on the seating chart.

so yeah get her seaworthy and go party next year then come again next year and we'll be there. It is walking distance from the harbor, or you prob would bring bikes with you. Groceries two blocks from the harbor.

PB sure just screwed up this thread! I feel bad for you Red. Tons of pics in this thread are gone! :grumpy:

Google pics appears to not be working either, I always use imgur as they don't have a bandwidth or size limit.
