Now here is a project I have a gazillion hours into. It is nearing completion.''
A major deck recore job. Plus I reinforces some areas. Everywhere that has a bolt through the deck was cored with 3/8" fiberglass panels--no more wet core on this boat.
I just finished two coats of primer on the topsides. My workbench and the wooden crate in the foreground is getting my excess paint. I used up my excess paint and epoxy on a portable workbench 6 or 7 years back and I can store it outside without any worries about water getting into the plywood. Two part epoxy primers and paints are the best.
I'll be painting the deck flat white with light gray non-skid. The topsides will be white. Red Boot stripe, and the bottom is getting an epoxy barrier coat, five coats of Interlux 2000E and either two or four coats of VC Offshore. This will be my first time using a paint type non-skid. I hope to have this boat done in the next week.
Then I start on my new interior for my 46--around Mid-August through October I hope I can finish that boat in 2.5 months and sail it to the Caribbean this fall.
I have a bunch of pictures on Webshots of this project.
