Still priming and finishing the deck....

I had to seam the deck up before I start laying the gelcoat on. A few layers of chop then I will grid it flat and mud the lows. Once flat then I can start spraying the white sanding Gel. Will use around 2.5 gallons for the deck. Once sanded smooth then I can paint the whole inside. I won't get to the paint until after the 4th of July. I have a ton of stuff on my plate the next week and a half and the boat project will get put to the back of the list once again. The one positive thing is I am on the home stretch. The only thing left is paint and reassembly. Well here is a few pics of the seaming and the two coats of primer on the walls..

First coat of primer done....

Spent the first few hours of the morning sanding the edges of all the corners and blocking the areas that the DA didn't reach. After a quick blow out with the air and a last minute vacuum it was time for spraying. I am using Slick Sand as my primer.  It applied about 3/4 of a gallon for the first coat. I am thinking I will need 2 more gallons. Here are a few photos....

Inside is progressing....

Today I got strated on the inside walls of the boat. I used a light weight body filler to skim coat the chop. Then I hit it with a "Mud Hog" it's a name for a big DA sander. I knocked it down with 40 grit then went to 80 grit. Tomorrow I will spray it all with slick sand. Sand the slick sand with 400 grit and she will be reay for paint. Enjoy the pics.....

Gunnel is primed.....

I spent the day sanding, filling and priming the gunnels of the boat. I unsed a product called Slick Sand for the primer. It is a high build polly primer.  Enjoy the pics.

Attached deck to the walls....

I have been working on tying the new deck to the walls. Well today we laid the last few pieces of glass. I am about ready for paint on the inside. Thinking I will start Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. It amazing how much stiffer the deck got by tying it in. Here is a few pics...

Still working on frame....

Getting all the glass done for the center console frame. Here are a few pics to see what I am talking about.
