Hello fellow tinboaters! Here is a few a pics of a project I picked up a month ago,(was inspired by all the neat projects I stumbled upon on this site, and have fixed a few up in the past) and this is what I have made of it so far, at least to get it on water for the remainder of the season here. Boat was halfway stripped and cleaned when I got it, just took it a little bit further ready for paint. Did my research and used two coats of the rustoleoum topside battleship gray. Seems others have had good luck with it and so far so good, really liked how it turned out. Cut some temporary bench seats for now until I lay out a new plan in the winter. Few pics from the other day breaking in my new 15hp nissan, ran solid 25mph with gear and myself in it and some chop haha.

Looking good. 25mph is a good speed.
