Looking good with some bling!

I have sanded the primer and will likely have a few spots hear and there to fill before topcoating. Ive also drilled holes for all of my deck hardware and bilge access. Still need to drill my holes for my splashwell drains. Not looking forward to that since I have a radius and they won't likely fit right. Still trying to figure that one out.

fwiw
I drill after final. Really harder to paint around openings imo.

It may be, but I'm sick of sanding. I needed something else to do for awhile. Also want to seal the holes with epoxy.

Laid out simrad go7, fusion ra7, switch panel, ignition, binnacle, and tilt steering helm.

This is what they look like with drains a bit high. Wish I had made a ditch now. Still can, but lots of fairing. My boat has a washdown; eventually. Brand new boat with lotsa dirt.

Can you drill a hole at the lowest point and then do the fill and drill thing? Might be a way to get it all to drain.

I figured out what I wanted to do with the splashwell drains. I grinded off the bottom of the fitting as others have. I then placed the fitting on the inside of the transom on the bottom of the spashwell. I marked the center and then marked another mark about 1/4" below. I then drilled a pilot hole from the inside on that mark.. On the rear if the transom, I used the pilot hole to line of the hole saw. I then drilled through the transom and into the bottom of the splashwell by about an 1/2 inch. Then i used a grinder to cut out the radius so the thruhull would fit flat on the transom. I used a dremel to smooth everything out.

Looking good. That flattened side should work nicely. I just installed the typical flared brass tube. I just installed one to starboard side splash well without a ditch. With the 25 inch transom I doubt I’ll have very frequent back splash. It will live under a roof when not actively running the lake.

That looks nice but a lot of work. A simple hole drilled and sealed with epoxy would have worked as well imo.

It only took 10 minutes. Whole boat is alot more work than I ever imagined.
