Finally making progress again.

Also working on cane seats.

YOU PAINTED :shock: over all that beautiful wood. :twisted:
"O" Well it is your boat to do what you want with it , at lease it is a complimentary color.

Chuck,
To many variations in the plywood. Believe me it looks alot better painted.
Planning to paint the outside of the hull white and varnish the rest of the trim.
Working on the cane seats right now.

Good looking boat, nice work....
What kind of paint did you use on the inside?

 

[swampwood]

Thanks woodman,
I used Ace Exterior enamel. Actually mixed a quart each of leather brown(gloss) and Satin White to get the color I was looking for.

Finally finished caning the seats today.
Primed the outside of the hull.
Will post pics of the seats tomorrow.

Well after suffering a few setbacks on the varnish, exterior paint and a death in the family I am starting to see progress again.
Should finish the exterior painting this week.
Waiting on Beekeeper for some of that BM Marine Varnish.

Now THERE is a seat that will be comfortable. Nothing sits like a caned seat.

I hope your right about the comfort. My back will know after a short while.

Finally finished painting the hull.

 

[swampwood]

Not completely finished yet, but close.

 

[swampwood]

Waiting for my weight tester to return and we will give this boat it maiden voyage.
I will take the finished pics then.
I believe it might be a keeper :!: :?:

The boat looks better than the pictures. Swampwood's camera dosn't do justice to his boats.
I wondered why my camera makes my boats look better than they are, but I figured it out. I don't take close ups.
Great job!
