Fuzz, its workboat. If she wasn't getting frustrated by the sound of the sander I'd fill a few spots where the epoxy shrunk while curing. I'll be happy with it, no questions. But I'll never call it anything but a workboat topside.

Eric, I'll take lots of pics. I'll get some before and after a to show how much small and large defects change in the painting process.

I'm also debating making one more change... in only used 60gr. Nothing finer than that for the whole boat. I'm thinking I might do some 80 and 120 areas just as a demonstration on what the surfaces look like when finished. But that takes work. And I'm lazy.

For you Fuzz

I couldn't stand the mast partner without easing the corners and edges at the rubrail. FIXED. And approved by the boss.

1021

1022

1023

1024

1025

And we have dagger board slot! Router for slotting, dremel for perfecting the slot, router with round over to edge.
1026

1027

Next up primer. Need to straight epoxy the slot so that mid seat will be a day late for initial coat. I'm expecting I can get caught up with time to topcoat this weekend.

Your turn Fuzz. Fish or boat.

That is looking good Jaysen. I think SWMBO will approve :D

As for boat or fish.................it will be fish, just waiting for a weather window. It is warming up, finally, but the wind does not want to give us a break. One of my fishing buddies made a trip off of Deep Creek yesterday and tried to recreate that beaching/loading video I posted last year :help:

I guess I'm spoiled with all the access to concrete ramps and the lack of wave motion up here in the sound. Next time someone hears out offer to "help" them with recovery by providing video analysis. Should be simple ... "stop being a dingus and stay home!"

Jaysen, Do me a favor and document the registration with SCDNR. You get to be the example for me to go by! Boat looks great, ready for the paint pictures. :D

That little detail on the mast partner is sweet.
