Guest Oyster Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Just when you thought I had forgotten my lost sheep, well here it shows up again. Well, its not a Jake job rollover, :wink: but I am ready to finish the interior, as the bottom components are all done. Bottom paint will go on as soon as the interprotect cures a bit more, and will be ready for my own rollover for the last time. I had already sealed and painted the shoe, that works fantastic for beaching the boats, and keeping it upright. The centerboard is weighted with ten pounds of lead, melted in a nice flat broiler pan, on my outdoor grill, making a neat 1/4 inch bar, and I cut it in half, and enlayed into the 1/2" plywood that is skinned with two layers of 1208 biaxall and skinned with a layer of 4 oz cloth, also primed with Interlux Interprotect 2000E, and will get bottom paint up to the top of the exposed area of the trunk.

Guest Oyster Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I can hardly wait to get the glits and gingerbread on it and make it go swish. 8) If everything goes as planned, [year right] it will be ready for the July 4 sail trip.

Steve Day Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Mike, I was wondering how you were coming on the round stern boat. That looks really nice. I really have to get up there to see those boats. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Pyeatt Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 HURRAH! I was afraid that this project had been put on the "WAAAAAY BACK priority list". Really glad to see it is getting finished. Been following this with much interest. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Oyster Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 The devil is in the details. :wink: I was required to place it on the sidelines for a couple of big reasons. I had to get some "grease" for this wheel and another prize family possession required me to take up some slack in the area of honeydos while she slaved in the real world. Well off to the water. Make sure all of you folks take any form of your Mothers for a nice sail this weekend, too. 8) But if that is not possible, take a few moments and hug your "mom" or stop for a moment and say thanks. See you guys next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
