Progress Update From The Amateur Backyard Boat Works.

We've been going non-stop and with Julie off for the summer and Austin home from Germany. The three of us have been kickin' some boat butt.

The bottom is done! After being sanded down to bare fiberglass a couple of years ago the bottom is dry dry dry.
Six coats of West System Epoxy were applied.

One side at time. Moving stands and blocks as we go. Wash sand wipe...wash sand wipe...

Then three coats of Interlux 3000 barrier coat were applied.

One side at a time moving stands and blocking as we go. Oh....more  sanding, washing and cleaning between coats.

Installation of the the 600 watt 12 degree sonar transducer.

Pretty close huh? Transducer is just out of the picture.

Three coats of Interlux Micron Plus red bottom paint. Complete. Pictures later.

While Austin was making his muscle available we installed the gen set. Had to use some our amateur backyard boatyard ingenuity.

Why God made tractors.

Smile Austin....the real work is about to begin.
In place! Nice to have some youthful muscle at times like this.

I'm going to stop here and go to bed.  This is not all but I'm tired.

Peace and love from the amateur backyard boat works.
