I need to wipe the blue waterline paint off with paint thinners, patch the 1inch hole shown and fill the chips than i'll be ready to lay down the paint

 

[gazza2007au]

I got the toilet water pick up hole glassed in and today laid down my undercoat/primer, i used an australia paint 2 part epoxy primer than i have 2 part 2 pack paint

 

[gazza2007au]

Put some paint on the hull yesterday she came up nice,a few little runs in the paint on the bow

 

[gazza2007au]

Resanded my transom and applied primer to the other side, hopping to have my trailer registered next week

we have been hammered by the covid 19 here in Sydney, Australia, im right in the thick of it we have been on lockdown for 1 month and now another 1 month to go we can only leave home to shop for food and as of tonight we cant go any further than 5km's thats about 3-4miles from home its so sucky

Anyway its really hard getting parts to keep the build going everything has to be ordered by mail, i plan on putting the hull on the trailer next week

Last week i painted the hull this is all white 2 pack paint rolled on, i have quiet a few runs on the transom

Looks Good Gazz! Hoping only the best for you and yours in regards to this covid crap. Looks like here the variant is kicking butt on nonvaxers, young and old.

 

[gazza2007au]

We were all good here untill 1 person transporting international pilots caught the variant virus and now its taking over 230 cases a day just in my little area 70 new infected people roming the shopping centers with and without symptoms, the worst part is people are just not staying home and are spreading it

Yup..moves fast. Just had a report where I work that there is a new case. I'll bet we go back to shut downs. We/I worked the whole time thru this crap for the facility.

We are currently shut down the only people working are hospital staff, nursing home staff, petrol stations, grocery store and big fast food shops like mc donalds and kfc absolutely everything else is shut down its crazy this virus is just wild it spreads so fast and so easily

 

[gazza2007au]

My trailer is now finished, i tried to sand the runs out of my transom but could'nt sand the runs without touching the final layer so i had to resand my transom and it will be sprayed this time instead of rolled on

 

[gazza2007au]

Got the hull up on the trailer she looks really good

 

[kcassells]

Boat and trailer look great Gaz!

 

[gazza2007au]

Cheers KC

 

[gazza2007au]

Got my transom painted yesterday and i chucked the t top in and seats for a look, im hopping to water test her at the end of the month if we get out of lockdown

 

[gazza2007au]

I got her rolled back to the outboard just waiting on steering to be delivered than i can mount the engine, yesterday i primedthe fuel tank cavity and bilge in epoxy undercoat, today i ground off and removed both back side hand rails

 

[gazza2007au]

I got my engine onto the hull but i need yo order longer bolts

 

[kcassells]

I ended up having to get longer bolts also. I got mine off Ebayat the time.
