Beginning my 1987 Fisherman 20 Restoration

And here's the bilge drain sleeve all cleaned up on the inside.



Then my friendly UPS driver backed all the way up into my driveway to help me B.O.A.T.:



13.3 gallons of epoxy, more Cabosil, microbeads and gel colorant, and 40 yds of 17oz biax. I think that'll be the biggest single ticket order until I get to replacing the leaning post, adding a t-top and whatever I decide to to with the outboard.

Made up a mount to hold one of my high power laser pointers for laying out the stringers, then after the underwhelming storms powered through I power washed the whole thing. Could've gone a little lower on the drain hole but it's still much better than it was originally. Right now I'm just glad to have all the current grinding dust washed out for the next step. Cheers!

I'm amazed at the progress you've made. Can't wait to see splashdown. I tip my hat to you sir!

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to the forecast break in the heat that's supposed to come tomorrow night, That will make throwing the bunny suit on to continue grinding a lot more bearable! As I marked out rough lines on the hull for stringers tonight I decided I didn't grind out far enough for the tabbing to come, and circled a few spots that I want to add a little glass to for reinforcing. Time to order up more grinding discs!
