[smccormick]

Beautiful work.

[Lotus]

After another long session of sanding here is the bottom , transom and part of the sides finished . It's gonna be a two tone color  

 

 

[Jay Lancaster]

You sure have a purdy bottom...

[Lotus]

Two tone done 

[lenm]

That colour blue will look nice out in the sun.

What paint system did you use?

[smccormick]

That's some nice workmanship.

[Riggs]

Wow! That is a thing of beauty. Well done sir 

[Lotus]

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 .

[Riggs]

Ahhhh Man Three weeks... No giant hairdryer  You have more patience than i

!!!!!!!!!  Patience is a virtue !!!!!!!!

 

Will continue sanding and glassing the cabin  and the seating setup in the meantime . These are out of the boat.

Looks great. I like the two tone! Can't wait to see more pics.

[Don Silsbe]

I am in awe.  Not only is this surface finish beautiful, but those colors!  I think I know what color my next boat will be.  Well done!

[Lotus]

Some work onto the cabin while waiting for the hull paint to fully cure before flip

 

[Riggs]

That look's very sexy Lotus. You gonna make any of the opening open for ventilation?

 

[Lotus]

Thanks Riggs, only the top one will be on hinges 

[smccormick]

You do some nice work.

[Patch]

Hi Lotus

 

I have enjoyed reading your marissa build and certainly enjoying seeing your vision and skills come to fruition on the Oc20.

Adding some small details before flip 

 

[meester]

Gorgeous.  I especially like the color scheme (grin)

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 !
