Ahhh. I gotcha. I’m usually a little slow in comprehension, but quick to to tap and type.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 8:51 pm Not tryin to cause a fuss. Heck, I need help on my boat because I really ought to have installed bait stations and kill boxes.
Man, I guess it was a design decision. I pushed that bulkhead back a few inches and lowered it for outboard clearance. You’re right. It could be a little low. I’ve been on a fair amount of skiffs with no splash well and have been fine. I hope to find out how it works soon!

All primer sanded with 320, but think I need another coat in some spots. Oh well. I guess primer is cheaper than paint.

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
I'd two coat that and then 320 again.

Yes, use primer if you don't have all the wood, and everything covered by it. Follow fallguys suggestion and do not leave anything bare. Tom

Roger that. 1 probably wouldn’t be enough.

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Two extra coats of primer were worth the fuss. As I was waiting for the last few spots of primer to dry enough to sand, I was looking at other nicks and pin holes, and began to say things to myself like, “ that’s going to get nicked anyway.” And “that’s going to get covered by non skid.” I guess I got it close enough, but I had a window to paint, and didn’t want to miss it.
3 coats sprayed between 9 and 3. Plenty of dust jibs to buff out, and several runs to address, but this milestone is behind me, and I’m going to enjoy installing some hardware on the top side.

As the runs continued to haunt my dreams, I sanded the topside with 320 and shot it again. Also rolled 2 coats of dark gray surfacing primer on the outside to be sanded this week.
