Thank you for the opportunity Fuzz. It would be a pleasure to meet you. I had a family friend that lived in your town but passed about 15 years ago. I have been through there many times. I will send you a message the next time I am in town.

Finally some warm weather to get going again. Ordered a custom color mixed up from Kirby Marine paint. I am calling it Safari Grey. A grey and green mix that changes with the lighting. But first I need to finish fairing and prep work. I put together a big sanding weapon for a 6 inch by 48 inch belt sander 50 grit belt. Just 3/8th inch ply with a sliding wedge to hold the belt in place. So far, awesome! Nothing more relaxing than a warm sunny day, sanding your boat, and beer. Spring is near.

Hi Fuzz,
It is certainly a beast. I wear a good pair of leather gloves and push down on the top. No handles required. The 50 grit prevents any slipping. It gets the heart pumping and arms burning in a hurry. I knock down everything with a 6 inch sander and use the beast to level it all out. Tears through and flattens the quick fair in no time. Probably another two weeks and it should be ready for paint.

My custom mixed colors arrived from Kirby Marine paint today. I sent him a color sample and he matched it dead on. Jungle Gray, Black, and Candy Apple Red. I am looking forward to getting the fairing done and rolling on some color.

Hi Tom. The paint plan is red on the bottom up to the spray rails, 1.5 inch black stripe, and jungle gray for the sides and interior. I have not decided on a color for non skid or seadek so far.

You know if you want to paint the inside decks the same, that the store has an excellent non-skid additive that you put a final coat of paint over. https://www.boatbuildercentral.com/prod ... e-1-pound/ I love it. Had a boat with Kiwi Grip and it came up after 6 years.

Pulled off my first of four hatch drains from the small mold. The lamination schedule was 1 layer of 9 oz plain weave, 2 layers of 12 oz biax, and one layer of 9 oz plain weave. I wanted to test for rigidity before making more. Still need to trim both inner and outer edges and laminate to the underside of the decks. I ordered Trim Lok gaskets that pressure fit onto the inner lip following trimming. Similar to car door gaskets.
