With the help of Shaun and Jay Berry, we buffed the final/fifth coat of Epifanes varnish on the deck, and the look is absolutely stunning ???!!!
And on New Year's eve, we applied the first coat of Epifanes varnish to the interior.
Next, we hoisted the boat off the trailer, and made a tent to contain all the sanding dust.
And then we spent a full day sanding the bottom, twice, with 220 grit paper on an orbital sander. We got real filthy, but we got the bottom real smooth.
Remember - if you wanna be fast, you gotta be smooth ???!!!
Finally, the boot stripe was painted with Pettit Boot Top White, and the bottom was "rolled and wicked" with Interlux Fire Red.
Stay tuned for more project details and photos, and please stop by and check our results - and join our Saturday Morning Gatherings.
