Lotus Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Tks everyone guys !  Lenm, I'm using 2k acrylic over epoxy 2k primer , same technique used on Marissa 3 years ago with very good results.  I will leave the paint to cure properly for about 3 weeks before re-flip the boat for the last time and onto the trailer .

Lotus Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Making a mold to construct the windshield on to Its gonna be formed from an 8 mm acrylic sheet It was tricky to wrap the 1/8" ply around those tight corners . I had to sand off one layer of ply ( 1 from 3 plys ) otherwise it kept breaking , than 2 layers of resin and cloth to bring back some stiffness . hope it will work out !
