Re: The Big Red SK....15???
Thanks Jeff, it's been a lot of fun putting it together. I'm sure I'll have a LM18 starting up sooner than later.

The dance floor is finished, some fun late night fumes. Assuming paint is hard enough, I should be able to mask it off and spray the bow deck, railing, and outer transom tonight. They'll be red like the hull.

Re: The Big Red SK....15???
It's a bit cold and the paint was still to soft to tape it off. I did perform a little test the other night, I sanded down my ABS deck hatch to give it a nice etch, wiped it down with acetone, and then sprayed it with awlgrip to to match the boat. I must say the bond feels just as strong (scratching it with my fingernail) as it does with the rest of the boat. Awlgrip will stick to ABS, didn't know that.

Re: The Big Red SK....15???
Thank you gents. I got the rubrail finished and trailer lights/tongue fab completed, went through the hubs and they were shot, it's stuck here in the garage for a couple more days... also got the scupper and other hardware installed. It's been a while, but I'm pissed at the redfish again.
