Lots of work! 3 coats of 2 part epoxy primer and 3 coats of paint, sanding between each coat! My knuckles are dragging! She looks good for being almost 45!

As they say, Good things come to those who wait. Looks like it was worth it.
Good looking boat.

Thanks Steve.... She is basically a Sakonnet Custom now. I have a center console ready to go in and will be using a Z leg pilot seat arrangement. The battery will be under the console and a 12 gallon fuel cell under the seat. Should be some good weight distribution. I coated the inside with 2 gallons of Durabak antil skid (bed liner). I am pleased with the results. I also did a PVC drain tube mod. The engine is a 1975 70HP Johnson that will be on a CMC trim/tilt assy. Can't wait to start sea trials!

Be glad to help anyone who has the patience! I started this project at the end of May. Lot's of sweat equity! Still under 2K spent to get to this point! The best thing!, no payments!
