Its two weeks in one this
week, maybe i should have called it 21&22.
The keel was sanded and painted with bottom paint 2 coats and the hardware installed
and the bolt test fit and oiled.
Man this thing is ugly looking. I pulled out the rudder blade and sanded and
epoxied it in prep for some work before the next time i take out bottom paint.
Well after about an hour muscleing the keel around we got it into this position
ready to be put back into the trunk. Definitely a minimum 2 person job: one
to hold it upright and the other pivoting the light end.
After that got the boat back on the trailer by reversing the process used to
get it off somewhat. It was alot smother than when i took it off the trailer.
And she's masked ready for epoxy on the sides as soon as the threat of rain
dies down.
Coming: Well i need to manage my time well now so I will need
to sand the two patches on the bottom of the boat and the keel that need epoxy
so they can be epoxied at the same time as the upper part. Then it will be sanding
and undercoating of the sides of the boat and bottom paint on the keel and bare
patches on the bottom.
