Re: FS14_LS
Got her painted. I want to do some finish work on it. What grit sand paper would you use for wet sanding this?
Re: FS14_LS
Primer coats look really good! No need to wet sand in my opinion. I usually sand to a desired smoothness, 320 is usually good. You can go higher but I don't think you will notice much difference. The important thing is to get all of the pin hole issues worked out before you paint.

Re: FS14_LS
This is actually the first coat of paint. It's a steel grey so it does look like the primer.
I put the 2nd coat of paint on last night and I ran out of light so the pain was thick is some areas i just want to wet sand those down to perfection if possible.
Here's a pic of one of the spots it's hard to get it on camera but I think you know what I mean.

Gotcha. Paint job looks pretty good from here! Maybe someone else can chime in with a wet sanding response. The technical data sheet for Interlux Brightside says to sand with 220-320 grit between coats but does not talk about wet sanding the final coat. Do you have enough paint to sand with 320 grit and re-coat with a thin coat?

Re: FS14_LS
Yeah should have plenty. I only used 1 quart to do 2 coats still have another quart left but I'm using it on other parts of the boat too. I'll try 320 and see where I'm at from there thanks.
Re: FS14_LS
Looks good though
Re: FS14_LS
Boat looks great! You will appreciate that rubrail outside of the hull we really load my fs14ls down and a lot of times idling crossing wakes water comes up to there then sprays straight out instead of coming on over the boat. I ran 2 layers of 3/8ply strips ripped 1.5”. What are you going to power yours with? Here’s mine

I have an old 5hp to start but I'm going to pick up a 15hp asap.
Got the final coat on. Flipping tomorrow.

Re: FS14_LS
What type of wood did you use as the support for the top deck? Oak is the cheapest locally but I'm not sure what I should be using.
