Just finished a 20 ounce batch of primer. I got it all done except the last 11 feet.

You can see where the second coat overlap the first here.

Transom.
Sorry for the dark picture. It's raining outside so I didn't roll the back door up for more light.

I see you are ready to shoot the first cat that gets near your wet paint. :lol:

Really liking the looks of your girl in primer. Paint should have her ready for the dance :D

Damn fine job sir! Pinholes aside, she's about as fair as I've seen a boat that size. And the pinholes should fill easy enough.

Thank Y'all Fuzz, Jamie and Jeff!!
I'm pretty Happy with the hull after priming. Does it need some touch up?, sure, but not much. :D :D :D

The second coat is complete! YAY!!

Image

I'm gonna let it rest until Monday. By then the primer should be cured and I can do some fill work with quick fair.

Thanks to every one for helping me get this far!!

That looks great! I'm kind of surprised, even recognizing how careful you were being, that you didn't end up seeing about a dozen new places to attend to. What a fine job you did. 8) 8)
