glazing putty applied


This is what has to be done over the fiberglass repairs to smooth out the imperfections. The whole process is rather timely because the hull gets so hot that I can not apply the putty properly. It also has to be sanded down after all the spots had been covered.

Figuring out scale and position of the transom artwork



ONE SQUARE = 1 FOOT. The letters may be around 9" tall each.



Any suggestions?

Another project area...

Under the metal rub rail we discover....

Major filling & sanding project.


These are shots of the port side and starboard side. Caused by the vibration due to plywood(!!!!!!) engine mounts, some of which were collapsing under the tremendous weight of those puppies (2,800 lb. each). Port side is the worst because port side engine started to dig in and was sitting on the frame. Req. clearance is 1/2 inch between frame and oil pan by HUCKINS. I don't remember reading this on the survey before we purchased her.

Beautiful Clean Paint Under the Guest Room Floorboards

two coats of bilge paint (by interlux) but not before the inner skin was pressure washed , rinsed several times (oil dirt and various kinds of junk had to be removed, previous project's debris partially cloging up the bulk heads... etc. ) bronze screw heads are also grinded down.

Rear Deck Wall Before and After

I had no idea how to deal with this... I must find something solid to build out from.... rot and water damage... I am glad we opened this up....
