Havent been able to fool with it yet this week, hopefully today I can fool with it some. I got the inside seams on one side and the front/back glasses, still have part of one side to do.
I just spoke with my marine paint guy Ive used for many years. Going with an international Epoxy primer Ive used before. He said it should seal it inside and out water tight.

just got a chance yesterday to fool with it. I havent been out there since Sunday when I let the rub rails sit up. Got the other ribs trimmed down and installed the bracing and plywood for the small bow cap. The rear one will only be 8" or so long, even smaller. Also got the paint...ouch. The inside corner on the glassing is done as well.
  Got it from Stauter boat works here, I was going with some different primer but he had some good stuff there so I went ahead with it.

I also couldn't stand it and prepped a small area for primer yesterday. This is some good stuff for sure. Coats great, dries fast.
 As you can see from the pic theres about 150# of paint buckets in there holding some wood to dry. She didnt flex a bit.

Can ANYONE tell me WHY paint has suddenly gotten so damn expensive?? I mean, WTF??? I'm prepping to paint my house right now, and just the cost of the paint is what I used to pay for painters to come in and paint the whole house!!! OMG!! WTF is going on? $70 for a gallon of house paint???

Destroyer, I dont know what kinda paint your buying but I can get good stuff here for 120-150 for 5 gallons...gallons run 35-40.This is good exterior BLP or Valspar house paint. I go through tons of it at works.
As far as the boat... No updated pic cause I just worked on some fairing yesterday but I did get a chance to weigh it. 40.5 lbs. I did the bathroom scale trick (with and without holding it). As it sits right now Ive got about 1-2lbs of materials left to add at MOST. Im pretty happy with that! I was hoping 30-35lbs but Im not far "over budget".
