Another real boating post!
 
Finally finished with the cycle of putting gelcoat on and turning it into
dust. Finished up with a bit of 400 followed by 600. Stuck the housing up
on it and all the edges are snug againt the hull so looks like we are flat
enough too.

Now I've got to put the housing back together with all the new bellows and
hose. At least with it off the hull I didn't have to drill holes in the
sides to get the steering arm off.

Looks real nice. I haven't waded into this cesspool NG for a while; now
I have to go scrape my shoes off.
Fired up Crius'n Rulz! the other day for a little engine excersize. Sure
does run sweet after the o/haul.

Dude - nice job. Looks great.

Well done. Now all you have to do is repaint the rest of the boat to
match the transom. :)

And speaking of transom work - did you sell that Tom Servo look alike
gumball machine yet? :)

Somebody paid $25 for that gumball machine. Plus shipping of course. Not
going to make much difference but had to get it out of the house.

Thanks! What you don't see is the pile of gelcoat dust sitting in the
trash.
