painted the boat today came out decent nothing special but glad shes done. got to reassemble her tomorrow. hopping the weather holds up for a water test Thursday. what you guys think? first time painting a boat going to give her a wet sand and a rubbing compound before i put her back together, there was one drip line in the back, but i think i can rub it out with some compound…

ya had buddy’s say the same thing about the speed, but if i didn’t have to wait for the weather would have been done a week ago tho, one thing i’m not is a procrastinator. my pops raised me that if you want something done then go do it. i worked 10-12hr a days on my little lady. i own a commercial renovation company so i got the tools and the knowledge in what to do with the material, but lacked the experience in products and where to start but i got a little more exp under the belt now thanks you you guys! and hoof the wife said no selling this one you’ve done to much to it going to be a hand me down to the son one day i hope. but i have plans to get a second boat when opportunity knocks, more geared toward night fishing gigin and bow fishing. all ready have the lights, generator, and plans to turn a 15’ Mckee in to a fishes worst nightmare.
