Re: pic of work so far

So, we'll see the finished product by Easter then?

I'm gonna get my Grinder and some flapper disks tomorrow. I looked at a couple and can see a difference in angle of deflection for the individual papers. I'm going with a 4 1/2 grinder since I can't hold on to large heavy tools like a 7in for very long, and I want to be more precise ( read: not grind through my hull accidentally )

One thing I noticed though, is some screw onto the grinder, the others use the Arbor...which have you used?

Well I got both there Mike , the HF one is a threaded bolt and my crafsman was a arbor. I didnt think I would really like the bolt one but they both work well !!!

AND I didnt grind threw the Hull on mine !!! STEVE lol

Sawzall is for those who want to work too hard at something easy. All it took for me was a skilsaw with an incorrect depth adjustment

It was so easy I didn't even know I had done it!

Meh, you gotta do the Easter thing, but no one has to dictate how long you have to stay!

I'm one step closer to working on my boat...I picked up a Makita Grinder and a flapper disc from Home Depot...40 grit..that suckers going to eat glass fast! Now all I need is the tyvek suit!

But first, I gotta get the wife a new vehicle, we sold her Grand Am yesterday!

Re: pic of work so far

Have a good Easter John. Evidently my boat just had to be at the mechanic's shop last Wednesday so they could start working on it this coming Monday So everything set out in yesterday's MONSOON rain with no cover on it inside a 12 foot fence I couldn't get thru!

OHHH MAN that stinks North , !!!!!

Well I was out there wet sanding her with a long board , all most enough water on the garage floor to float her, lol I got to get one more coat of primer on the transom !!!

And I heard the guys talking about orange peel , well know I know what there talking about !!! lol

There is just a couple spots on the transom that I want to get just a little bite more of a build up on and it should be good !!! I got to run but will try to get some pic's up later tonight !!!

You guys have safe travels out there today and Happy Easter again !!! John

Re: pic of work so far

OK guys here's some pic's , this first one is the best of them all showing the spots i want to hit again with the primer !!! you can see the little dimples above the 5 and 6

also was thinking I had better measure where the u-bolts go back in!!!

and here's just a long shot of the transom

then i am kind of proud of the way that the drain turned out in the splash well !!!
