She scaled out at 1206# with the interior in it.

Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)

The complete boat got re-gel coated. What a time sucker this was. 8 hours wet sanding everything flat. Three coats of sun shield clear. Looks like wet candy!! Taking 2 days off. Heading to Spokane for the weekend. Grabbing the jack plate while there. [ Post made via iPhone ] https://www.hydrostreamf...

Got the red AND white on today. Done with colors!!

Wet sand flat and clear tomorrow hopefully.

While waiting for the red to get hard, the windscreen got sanded and polished.

With the shop at 70*, I was able to get two colors sprayed today. Medium and light gray.

Tomorrow is the red and maybe white.

Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)

Black went on just fine.
Got the windscreen detail sanding done, black gel and since it was looking good, the sun shield clear top coat was sprayed on.
