bottom paint

[Disturbed]

Ok, A new soda blaster wasn't in my budget, so hand sanding it is!! Palm sander is crap, so away I went with my Dewalt drill today. I'm about 75% done, and plan on finishing up in morning followed by bottom paint. Holy $h!T. Talk about looking like a smurf!! Lmao.

I had to have a little instant gratification and painted just the aft section. Nice!!! I love it. All the hard work is definitely going to be worth it. I will post pics when the entire project is done. I bought it on June 1st and plan on splashing it July 1st.

New Cherry dash is done. New Cherry cuddy door is done. All decals removed. New decals installed. New Teak Cuddy guides installed. All wiring redone. Rod holders have been reglassed, cleaned up and painted and reinstalled. Mama is busy at work recovering all the cushions for the cuddy. All that will be left after this weekend is to paint a 3" black stripe where the original decals were.

It has been well worth the experience so far and for my first boat, I love it!! And it damn sure doesn't look 22 years old.

Stay tuned for upcoming boat porn!!
