Even though it's only in the 20's today......I started priming some deck hatches, engine cover, fishbox covers, etc......Had to work in the basement........wife got a little PO'd because it stunk-up the house!<br /><br />Used the InterLux Primekote 404/414 2 part primer for the InterLux Perfection paint.<br /><br />Hope it warms up soon!!!

Re: SpringFever

I hear ya. I am not home right now, I am away doing some job related training. It doesn't matter because it is cold as heck at home and the boat is just sitting in the garage, but when I get home it will only be a few weeks before I start fishin'. Can't wait...

Re: SpringFever

Yeah guys, Spring Fever is spreading like crazy once again this year. My boat is upside down in the backyard primed and ready to roll & tip. (searched & read all the threads on painting alum)<br />Many thanks go out for all the great tips and advice. Just can't wait for a weekend above 50 degrees :mad: :confused:

Planning on Rustoleum. My boat is a 14' aluminum v hull with a 9.5 Rude. (First boat, what a great little fishin machine).
