[QUOTE="Mojo, post: 126101, member: 2642"] Rained all day Saturday so I didn't get to do any work at all. Today was nice and sunny thou so I went back out and started sanding on the hull again. There are giant long cracks all thru the paint, just from the age of the boat and the paint i'm sure.. but i've sanding them all out which is taking forever. Pretty much have it back down to bare fiberglass in spots. I'm almost tempted to just strip down the entire hull and throw another layer of fiberglass and resin on it to make sure all those cracks are sealed up good and don't come back any time soon. I'd hate to spend all this money on paint just to have it crack in a year or so. If i decide to go that route i'm going to break out that belt sander and go to town on it... i'll have to think about it. The good news is some of the goodies are starting to roll in. Got my Volt Gauges in and also the LED's I ordered for the accent lighting and interior hatches. Once i get this hull finished and painted I can move the boat back to the trailer and start working on the mod build. I'm in the process of scrounging for a place to work on this inside when it comes time to paint. Been hitting up the folks at church seeing if anyone has any spare garage space i can borrow. We'll see... [/QUOTE]
