Well, I finally got to park the sander(s) and shoot some paint this week.
A few from the same album are here http://gallery.bateau2.com/thumbnails.php?album=328
It's a great feeling to see the boat's lines come to life.

Thanks for comments guys. Kinda hurts to say it but I burn clear douglas fir, red cedar, and red alder. Yes, as you can see my build area is pretty tight. If my strongback wasn't on wheels I would have been jiggered.
The bottom is MarinEpoxy mixed with 25% graphite powder by volume. I intended to do 2 coats but ended up doing four because of extra sanding caused by disintegrating roller contamination.
Tonite I'll sand the primer with 150 or 220 grit and shoot the top coat on the next warm, calm day. I still have to finalize my graphic design for the sides but it will be white and jade green similiar to Jim W's C19.
