FL 14 in Florida Build

[94'325is]

Worked on building a tackle box into the rear of the middle seat and cleaning up the decks/hatches. Seems to be coming along pretty well, hopefully I'll begin sanding/fairing this weekend and start getting paint on soon.

Built a smaller version to test out different colors, I think I've settled on a light yellow outside and white on the inside.

Thanks! I'm still fairing but I think I should be getting close to paint in a week or two.

Got the interior faired and primed, this picture doesn't show the inside of the hatches being painted but that happened just after:





Also got the skeg mounted on the bottom:



On Saturday I bought a trailer, a 14' Continental from B and G Trailers in Deltona. They made me a great price and everything was turnkey minus adjusting the bunks which is typical.




From the above picture I dropped the boat another inch which should be better for getting the boat on/off the trailer in low water.

Inside of the boat painted, still needs the non skid but I'm happy with the results. I used Interlux 2 part primer then Rustoleum Marine for the top coat. The reasoning for using the Rustoleum is the price and availability, and also if I have to do touch ups down the road it should be easier using the 1 part. The outside will be primed with 2 part Interlux and the the 2 part Interlux top coat.

Did the fairing, priming and top coat this weekend. Used Interlux 2 part primer and 2 part top coat (Perfection).
