amazing repair with fiberglass. terrific repair job. fiberglass material itself has only one draw back! ITCHY even when you are properly dressed. or vented. i know most members favor outboards but you wont experience this situation with an i/o!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:fight:

Very true..

but then again, your boat won't SINK from a hole in a bellows with an outboard... Just sayin... :hide:

that's what the four ropes at the slip are for!:hide:

blue paint, polishing-buffing & starting to rig.

Now I'm thoroughly jealous...she looks great.....what type of paint system are you using? My boat is still under covers with ice and snow, but your pics are giving me the fever to uncover the boat early this season and get going. That color will stand out nicely. Great Job!:clap:

Thanks man. You people get me pumped to keep on finishing this V. The temp here has been in the low 80's, clean skies & no rain (sorry). Perfect for us shade tree aficionados.

The system is a 2 part urethane, using a good quality primer so it will stick to the gellcoat.

Wow! Don't know how I'm just now finding this thread but that is awesome work. Congrats on great results.

Me too!
Truly professional results with your project.:clap:

Excellent work TSP! They never looked that good brand new. Somebody said you wouldnt have to go through that with a I/O. NOT!!! Mine was completely rotted out when I got it. I had to replace the stringers and entire transom. I didn't have to paint the entire boat, just the transom and buffed out the rest. You've done an amazing job there. You've got alot to be proud of!!
:beer: CHEERS!!
