I ran into the same issue: ran out of paint and ran out of time to keep adding coats. I ended up losing a lot of my grit in the first few days of use to due insufficient over-coating and need to start over with my non-skid on some areas of my boat. Will need to wait till mid-summer to fix. I'm thinking I can use a much cheaper paint over the grit than the stuff I've been using(TotalBoat Topside) since it's just going to get walked on, scuffed, dirtied, etc.

Rally like your build, big fan of the Pangas!

Really good looking boat! Try to get some more paint on the deck so you don't have the problem Jeff had, you may have a few more warm days. :?:

Beautiful work! Any other pics or details on how you built the sapele gunwales/coaming/breastplate, etc? I have visions of a thousand clamps, steam bending, scribing, witches brews... :D I've been following boat building on the web for at least a decade and this is pretty much the only aspect of which there is virtually no information to be had. The sparse information out there seems to only concern teak in the cockpit of some monster sport fisher.

I could not find pictures of the sapele deck construction, I did not have to steam it, started with the coaming, then the king plank at the bow to receive the ends of each strip,after cutting all the strips from 5/4 planks 9 ft long I cut scarf joints to glue up 24 ft strips,started with the strip resting on the coaming glueing it down with (yes),lots of clamps, for each of the remaining strips I glued and screwed with #8 2 1/2 in ss finishing screws through the edge, until I reached the rub rail glued on earlier, then with an electric planer I shaped the top and then lots of sanding

Here is a picture of the helm seat, after painting the top sides, I will be getting it out of the garage and on to a trailer and take it to St Pete Florida for the Yamaha 70 hp then I can post better pictures outside of my little garage
