[ecirb_88]

If i can get out of work early ill be priming and painting my boat today!! cant wait i will be posting PICTURES as soon as the paint is done!

 

[ecirb_88]

got the inside painted!! it ran a little, but what can you exspect, first time using a paint sprayer, i got the hang of it now, the outside will look good! painting that tonight ill have more pictures of that later!

It may just be an optical illusion, but in that first pic, it looks like the left side of the front bench is much lower than the right side. Paint is looking good especially for the first time using a sprayer.

jm, its no illusion, that bench was put in by the feller i bought it from, never noticed it was crooked till i looked at it from where i took the picture, none the less it still sits alright! thanks for the compliment, it looks lot nicer now that the paints dry! ill get a picture up. the lighting dont do the color justice, it is a real nice, very dull/flat green from hunters specialties.

i'm going to be putting the drain back in the back of my boat, whats a good product/method to install it leak free? thanks!

 

[ecirb_88]

here is some more stuff ive been working on,, im staining and waterproofing the transom and wood for the benches. i also painted the cowling and put new decals on it.

 

[JMichael]

What is that wood type used for the transom. That's some pretty wild grain patterns and it's making it hard to identify the wood type.

 

[ecirb_88]

just 3/4 marine grade ply, its not anything special, i got the cheapest marine grade they had. i like the grain though

 

[JMichael]

I like stained projects when the wood has a lot of grain like that. Gives it character. I'd have to guess at it being possibly white oak just looking at the grain but regardless of what it is, it looks nice.

 

[ecirb_88]

thanks!

Agree! That wood grain looks really nice!

I know I'll have to do my transom soon. Like how yours is coming.

Where did u get marine ply wood? Lowes? Home Depot?

 

[ecirb_88]

thanks, im putting the last layer of varnish on tonight, i got it from windsor plywood here in great falls, i think its a local business.

 

[ecirb_88]

just finished the last coat of varnish on the seats and transom! i will post pictures tomorrow when they are dry! think ill wait till about Tuesday to put them on the boat! cant wait it will be almost complete!

 

[ecirb_88]

all done! going to install the transom tonight perhaps, then the seats tomorrow! cant wait! wish my garage was heated haha

 

[ecirb_88]

well i got the transom in,, its not completely secured, i have a few more bolts to put in! but i will do that tomorrow and install the benches as well.

 

[ecirb_88]

almost done! im installing my fish finder and what no tomorrow, also the plug hole thingy (not sure what its actually called) and the bilge pump. although hopfully i wont need it after using the gluvit on everything!

 

[Trapper02]

Man that turned out real nice!

Nice to see someone else rocked out the New Year's Eve working on their boat! Hehe

 

[ecirb_88]

thanks! haha yeah, i worked on my boat, then went to bed before midnight! but im stuck today, i need some bolts and washers and ace is closed. but oh well i guess! ill take the day off and start again tomorrow!

 

[JMichael]

Are you using stainless hardware/bolts?

 

[ecirb_88]

I am using black bolts, not sure what th eh are, but I am assuming they won't rust.
