THE one Tim at 1770.
Don't know if it will be going up there mate. Will be using it for river to mud if its on this year tho.
Late start this morning But I managed to get all of the inside sanded taking off all the fiber glass needles everywhere ready to apply flow coat gave the inside a good clean got rid of all the dust etc. Also cut out the fuel tank floor cover and the front storage cover and glassed both sides so I can flow coat these when I do inside the boat as well the front storage compartment was where the dunny use to be. Ive just gone with drop in floors as I want to eliminate the need for hinges and screws. But its starting to feel like a boat again!
Looks good.

Well doesn't a quick coat of paint make something look a lot better!
Flow coated the inside of the boat today!!!!
If you are wondering why there are 2 large spots I missed, Well that area I am going to tape off both sides and on the fuel tank cover and flow coat them grey with a heap of non skid in them give it a bit of a 2 toned affect to break up all the white. So that will hopefully happen tomorrow.
Looking great Tim
Finished off flow coating the inside of the boat this afternoon Taped off the areas I wanted to paint a different color and made sure the flow coat had lots of non skid in it came out great. Not to harsh on the feet and plenty grippy enough when wet.
Looks fantastic tim!
That is coming up a treat. You are proving yourself to be a very useful mammal and nothing like what the others said about you when you left the bar early at 1770.

Looking great Tim. Damn near enough a new boat now!
Cheers,

I can take the criticism its ok.
Thanks guys its getting there slowly. Absolutely everything under your feet in this boat is new, The top will fall apart around the rest of it. Started back working on the transom this afternoon. Its the last thing on the list. Then a lot of cutting and polishing to get a shine back into the old girl. James from origin boats will have my new fuel tank done this week. So that will be installed once its completed. Also Sikaflexd all the inspection hatches in as well. Didn't use screws in these just a lot of sika with some weight on top until it set.
Looking good Tim, very nice.
Maturity is not when we start speaking BIG things,it is when we start understanding small things
