LOL and I did ,,,, plus my new rubrail came today ;D ;D

that aint gonna be no fun job....gonna have to go buy a heat gun

[tsubaki]

Man that's too purty to put back in da water.

[Mulv80]

Hey Lumber looks good 8) I was wondering shouldnt you leave a little space between the motor and the paint or is that only with the older type bottom paints?

[lumberslinger178]

mulv,
Ive never heard of anything like that..... not sure.

[msbhammer]

Lumber, thats one fine job. ;)

[Mulv80]

Lumber, *I know with the older bottom paints the copper in the paint would conduct with the aluminum in the motor. The aluminum would end up being eaten away by the reaction. I think with the new paints they are held together by newer bonding agents so I don't think you have to worry.

[lumberslinger178]

I will ask the owner at the marina , I used interlux micron it was nice paint good for two seasons ... so I dont have to do it next yr ;D

[Mulv80]

Lumber, I just went back to where I read it and edited my post. I think your fine. Looks great 8)

[lumberslinger178]

gonna tackle the rub rail this weekend :-/ :-/ gonna go buy a heat gun ;D ;D ;D

[msbhammer]

Was looking at my rub rail and noticed how a few of teh screws backe out from the underside of teh rope. Thought that was a bit odd. Another future job. :o

[parishht]

Dam Lumber, that is one purty boat.

I forget do you keep it in the water for th efull season or do you trailer?

My question is because of the two seasons before recoat?

[lumberslinger178]

parish, I do keep it in the water till nov 15th so I thought this was the rite way to go

[parishht]

Thanks, isn't the internet great,
we can have this conversation even though I am in Valencia, Venezuela this week.

[macojoe]

Looking Good!!

Let me know when the rub rail is done, I will be there to pick it up and drop your real boat off (mine) you can start over so you don't get boared!

The barrier coat you applied will prevent the galvanic corrosion between the paint and aluminum.

[lumberslinger178]

well today I put in a new plug and my flapper stoppers...lol
