Was just reminded that I started this thread on 8/23/19. Looking unlikely I get it painted before the 3 year mark. Oh well. Progress continues.

Time has been spent fairing around the bottom of the leaning post, epoxy coating bright work and sanding with 320. Also fixed a flub that had been bothering me on the rub rail at the bow. A tough spot that’s wedged up in the corner of the garage, but I took the time today to fill it in with a few strips of 1708 and thickened epoxy against a batten covered with packing tape. A little more sanding required…

Anchor locker hatch opening needs some love. The ready for primer.

64oz of Alexseal surfacing primer on the top, insides, console and leaning post. Got me 2-1/2 coats on the cap, and a solid 2 on everything else. I’d like to do 3-4 coats to be sure there is enough material to sand smooth, but still leave a layer behind, but I’m saving the 1/2 gallon I have left for the outside of the hull.

Enjoying the build...

Am I an arse if I ask why you did not go full height transom? I suppose the boat is unsinkable, so less important..

Thank you! Me too!

I’m definitely not calling it unsinkable. Bad juju goes along with that phrase.

Not an ass. Good question. Early on, Jacques advised against a full transom and bracket on the 19, although I’d love it with a fish box across the back. With hindsight, I would have cut it for 25” shaft, but that ship had sailed and dont have the stomach for the mod.

No, that's not why you're an arse. :lol: :lol: :help:

Looking great Dan (Smullen)!

I think FG1K might have meant full height motorwell bulkhead, not transom. In that case, i am also a little curious.

Yeah. I mean the motorwell full up.

I hate backing into oncoming waves and filling the boat.

Sorry I didn't see it sooner for timelier dialogue.

But backing does happen now and then; especially if trolling or drifting and snagging bottom..I always end up putting on fishing bibs, soaking my shoes, etc

And if you are priming; you could sneak it in, yet!!
