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.

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.

This is actualy not a small resto anymore. By the end you completely redid the boat with almost all new gel.

Realy looking forward to see the finished boat. Hopefully it will run very good.

When do you think it will be ready to hit the water?

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.

How do you put a price on the build ??? After countless hours spent making it better than factory when new only to find out very few will appreciate the time spent and pay the price for a better than new boat. Congratulations Ron Pratt it is beautiful !!!

Spent Monday block sanding the deck.
Tuesday buffing and putting the dash back together, shifter, etc…

Today got the gas tank in, bilge pump installed, steering put back in, made a pro-trim style bracket for motor trim switch, battery tray, drilled holes for bilge thru hull and rigging hoses. Got the wiring cleaned up in the back. Added a terminal block for the grounds. Keeps the battery posts tidy.
