Mark's PH18 in Toronto

[MarkOrge]

After months of priming and sanding, filling sanding priming etc. you now.... I said enough and dragged her on to the newly delivered trailer. Off to the paint shop tomorrow. Looks ugly but she is fair and down to 120 grit, the crew at the shop can finish her.

Will post when she returns in a couple weeks. My painter told me should cure in the shop for at least a week.

It must be satisfying reaching such a significant milestone Mark. Congratulations!

Looks great already, what kind of paint? Are you going to an auto paint shop?

[MarkOrge]

Thanks Guys, very satisfying indeed and just fun from here o out - finish wiring and bolt everything back on that was dry fit before. She is going to Beacon Bay Marina's shop - they have a 60' paint bay. The product they prefer is Awlgrip.

Hi Mark looks like you'll get on the water this summer. It's looking good and should come home shining with that Awlgrip.

Hi Blueflood. She is going to be all gloss white, with a navy blue based wrap down the side.

Say, I noticed you are in Ottawa - did you watch and of the Bassmaster's Classic ? Charles Sim from Ottawa Valley South Bassmasters is only the 2nd Canadian to make it all the way to the Superbowl of tournaments through the club system.. He almost made day 3. At one point he was in 11th place on day two. He finished at 31 I believe. I loved his wrap - all Canadian flag(s)

Hi Mark,

Not at all into fishing much, sorry. The closest thing to live fish is opening up a can of sardines, herring, tuna or salmon - or fresh trout or cod fillets from the fish store Love to eat it though.
