You sure do live life dangerously :lol: Sanding and painting the hull over a fresh trailer paint job! I know who would come visit me if I attempted such a feat. I don't want to even mention his name on your thread though.

Looking fine from here on some of the toughest work of the process.

Yes I'm kind of wishing I had sanded and painted the boat first but things just didn't work out that way, so far just a lot of sanding dust on the trailer, blew most if it off with the compressor but I will for sure have to cover the trailer when we paint the boat.

Got the bimini top installed test ran the motor, my son fabricated some guide on's, will install them tomorrow, now it only needs new paint and decals.

Got the boat guide on's attached I think I I'll get them re bent about an inch on each side a little to close to the sides of the boat.

 

[Watermann]

Yeah the guide ons might get in the way of painting too.

 

[budski]

Yes for sure I have to take them off anyway, at least I know they need adjusting before I put them on permanently.

I see you're sneaking off on us over to Facebook too :lol:

Hi Budski, what type of sander did you use on the hull?

I am going to bit the bullet and get an air compressor. I don't know much about the orbital vs dual action vs straight rotational, etc. and using to remove paint from an aluminum hull.

Finally got her painted, my son did an awesome job as usual, new decals in the next few days.

 

[Watermann]

Looking good you're on track to dunk her before the end of the month.

Paint job turned out great John, after decals you should be done?

 

[budski]

Thanks Glen, hopefully we can get the decals on today, provided it doesn't rain, then yes it will be ready to splash.
