Topsides all primed - a bit of light sanding with 220 grit tomorrow then the wait...
I might flip and do the outside first, then flip again to do the inside (I suppose I shouldn't get used to the ease of flipping since the next project will just get a single flip!).

Nixed the flip - it is getting heavy! Taped for painting the sides:
Sides painted, taped and ready to go for the inside painting:
I got one coat on today, another tomorrow. Then assorted hardware gets bolted on...

Sort of launch today - the outboard had some issues at mid- to full throttle so a couple of short loops at about 1/2 speed then back to shore was it.

Looks good! You seemed pretty steady after you got on your feet.
Post another video when you get the motor worked out...

What are those black blocks (I assume some sort of weight) holding the internal frame components in place?
Thanks!
Thanks!
