ya you got that right, been down right miserable.

Well,, finally got the first coat of paint on the boat. Havent had the time to work on this project as much as I had hoped. Been slammed at work the past month and a half. At this rate Im just hoping to get it out on the water before before summer is over. Also got the trolling motor mount made...

Appreciate that. I have finally painted that boat. I will post some pictures later because I forgot my camera the day it got painted.

Finally got some paint ordered and it arrived today. I decided to go with the parkers duck boat paint in the sand tan. Got it off of Cabelas website for $15 a quart. The main reason for choosing this paint is that Parker claims this paint will not have gloss or shine to it which is really what I...

I applied it right over the bare metal. everything I had read in the steel flex forum did not require that it be primed. Good luck

Thank you, I appreciate that Im still trying to find the right paint as well trying to decide on a color.

To be honest with you, thats just to expensive for me. Yes I want the paint to look nice and last but at the same time realize its GOING to get dinged up in river.

All I can say is wow, that looks awesome. Keep the pictures coming, I would like to see the foam your talking about.

Thank you I appreciate that. I have never even thought about mounting the trolling motor on the dented side. Depending on whether a deck gets put on the front end or not may be the deciding factor. Does anybody have any experience ( good or bad) using the duplicolor paint products sold at...

After beeing stalled a few weeks this was the most productive couple of days I have had on the boat. Was able to get the inside completely prepped for priming and then actually got to prime her.

:D Finally,, the weather and my days off decided to work with me. I was finally able to primer the outside of the boat. Tomorrow I plan on fininshing up the interior prep so that may be primered as well. I hope when I actually paint the boat it does not leave those shadow looking spots as the...
