What happened to the summer!

Wow did time fly by and I am still not done. I was trying to get the boat done for the LCACBS Boat show in August and just ran out of time. Button Bay looks great trees are just starting to change and the water is starting to change its color. I have been working on Honey-Do's and continuing to knock things out on the boat. At this point I am 1 coat away form finishing painting th ehull as you see by the photoes. On the bilge I used Interlux Bilgecoat and for the trim I used Rustoleum Almond because I liked the off white. I figured I would see how this holds up and if it does not I can use th einterlux Hateras White. It was interesting in that the bilge had alot of pld dusty oily crud and it took some work with a degreaser to get most of it off. I think adheasion is good but will not know for sure until I put the boat to use. I do need to do touch up on the outside because I got sloppy with some stain. Things are settling in for Fall's arrival on Monday and I beieve I will have all the painting done this weekend, which means I will start to do the fit up and have it ready fo ra Spring launch, or early summer depending the amount of debrie in the water. Well that is it for now I will be posting more regular now that things will settle into more inside activities.
