are we having fun yet my ole friend ....
doing some awesome and A LOT of work! :thumbs:
Did I miss how you're going to paint it? Crossing my fingers my 'Flite bottom is fine...
My buddy has one of those in alabama, except blue, SEXY boat! Love the paint job, be interesting to see it on a check. My side window frames are cracked, I've been designing a molded windscreen for mine, just not sure how I'd get it to not crack where attached to the top deck with rough conditions or kids/drunks manhandling it...
Im spraying Imron or i should say, my painter is.. My shop is next to a paint/body shop...lucky me.
So far Im thinking the whole boat dark red/burgandyish with two white or checkered stripes down the center of the top...like this Donzi....love to figure out how to do this wind screen too.....
Do the low windscreen like the Donzi, it would look sweet and one-of-a-kind, forget about the wind noise!
Jeff are you having to build up the low spots with some type of putty or mat and resin? I'm trying catch up on the work you're doing so far on the bottom.
Jeff note the size difference between the two boards ( face ) ................which is something that will ......really help make the job that much more easier ( machined ) giving you a straighter surface oppsed to long boarding by hand .
What did you use for a de-waxer before you sanded the gel? That cabosil and 17 oz cloth are good stuff! Cloth is much easier to use than CSM and the cabosil is absolutely no comparison to using chopped strand, good advice OG.
de-waxer?..I use 36 grit to cut through any area i am glassing...no wax can stop that....
