A Few More Pics.
 

Added two more coats of Interlux Barrier/primer last night till 9pm. Finished up the deck today with the tuff Coat rubber non skid floor. Turned out great. Will lightly sand the interlux primer and finally put on a below waterline gloos finish paint. Suposed to be just as good as a gellcoat. We will see.

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Thanks guys, been speanding alot of time taking two steps forward and 5 steps back alot. Been learning alot doing everything on my own here. Will send more pics when the deck is put back together and the hull finally painted.
Mulv. That Tuff Coat worked great, you must thin it out though with water and stir it really well. The deck really came out nice.

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Hammer, it's a LOT of hard work, but it'll be worth it the 1st time you splash 'er!! ;) ;D 8)...you're doin' some great stuff...thanks for sharin' w/us... ;D...

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

That looks real nice Hammer. It will all be worth it in the end.

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Hammer, is going to be the go to guy for info soon!!

I am going to be doing the bottom on my soon?? I have really no idea as I have a bad rotoe cuff right now that they say is going to take 2 months to heal :'(

But the son says he will have the bottom striped in a day with a friend!! and not only will it be striped , but it will be perfect!!

Thats right ONE day :o

So I told him I will give him 1 month free board if the bottom is striped in a day, or he has to finish the job for 0, he said ok!
Wow all that work and he isn't going to get a dime!! ;D

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Really nice.
Those Lewes cops are everywhere.

Maybe we'll meet up some say at Irish Eyes or at the Pilot House. There is a group of us (about 10) that go to the bloody mary breakfast about twice a month over the summer. We are the rowdy group that they sit away from everyone.

Re: A Few More Pics.

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Beautiful Hammer, you will be proud ;)

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Yes, thats the primer. KEEP AWAY FROM IT. Been hearing major complaints about it not bonding.
Irish Eyes !!, thats my drinking hole ;D ;D. The boat is just past Irish Eyes. Thanks for all the praise's guys. I need a few good prayers ;D ;D

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Maco,
Damn - you are tuff !! I hope that son of yours shows up with rental machine for dry soda blasting that bottom. He'll be done in a few hours ... and wondering what he will do with the rent money he saved. You are paying for all materials consumed - right ? :)

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

In the dry dock area.

I drive through and dream about the big boats.

Re: A Few More Pics.

Re: A Few More Pics.

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Hmm.... I will think about it ??? Ok if you say I have to I will, but thats it!! ;)

Man he is going to be working hard!! I have to see if I can borrow some boat stands some were??

Re: A Few More Pics.

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Day 3; as we pick up the action, the lads seem to be wearing down a bit as MJ moans and groans over the cost of sandpaper.... ;D ;D...

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Careful what you ask for... 2 guys w/ a 36 grit disc on a 4.5" grinder could turn the whole boat to dust in 1.5 hours. Bottom paint aint no problem if you get agressive enough.

Airslot

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Remember this is MJ's son we're talkin' about here..."agressive enough" probably won't be a problem... ::) ;D ;D...

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Ya got that right RAP! ;D

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

MJ, looks great, wanna do mine next?
finn :D

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Finally finished all the sanding and applied my first coat of TOP SECRET PAINT, that I heard about from Capt.Bent. The paint has a super gellcoat finish and shine. No brush marks as they promised. The only problem I have is the run marks. The company makes it clear to then it out and I did, but I have ALOT of run marks in the paint to say the least. Plus I was painting till 10pm last night with a spot light and alot of criiters landed and became stuck in the paint. I finally thought my sanding was done. I'll be doing a light sand job to the entire hull once again, add on a second coat and thats it !!. So hopefully she will be looking good/better by next week. Will be sure to post some pictures.

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Hey Hammer, did ya git r done? I can't wait to see the fruit of your labors...

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Went out and bought two gallons of stripper and stripped her back down. Paint wouldnt bound to the Interlux primer. I'm now thinkinking what to do now ??
Looks like bottom paint, or use a differnt primer, but would hate to spend more cash and the paint again doesnt stick. :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Leave 'er nekkid, Hammer...leave 'er nekkid... 8)...

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

white Rust-Oleum, nice enamal paint will stick like glue, and easy to touch up when needed~!~

I knmow someone who sanded most of the black antifoul, and painted with the above and it lasted great!

I like cheap ;D

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

I painted a 13 whaler with the rustoleum 2 part paint and it works great. About 100 bucks for a gallon with the activator. The neat thing was after i painted the outer hull with the white, i took the remainder back to the store and they tinted it blue for the inside. good stuff.

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

get to bed punk you have a long day ahead of you tomorrow!! ;D

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Finished stripping the hull down. I am now back where I started at with a hull with Interlux 3000. Will do some deck work and think what to do next with the hull.
The dive season is starting, Gotta Gettter done and in the water.

Re: A Few More Pics.
 

Tuff Coat: tell me some more about it. Do you use this on the deck? Previous owner put carpet snaps on the deck and some are missing, I want to remove all and fix holes and match to surrounding color (off white). I also have a couple of other fixes where I changed out a seat.

I have a 91 V-20 with the 5.7 volvo penta DP.
