Nice work, Darrell. Those contrasting wood strips really add some class.

Re: My Daughter's Boat: Deck Glassed

Got alittle more done. Everything is smoothed up and ready for tape on the deck/hull joint. Still have a couple of places on the orange to touch up and put the 3rd and final coat of epoxy on the exterior. Everything is dull from sandind but once it is varnished I think Hannah is going to really like it. She is already bugging me to death to take it for a test drive. I sure like this big open cockpit.

Do you think Hannah is going to let you paddle it?

That is one might fine looking boat. It would even be better looking if you did one more thing.................. Rake the Yard. :lol:

Chuck.
PS. Ron ( almost , might of ) told me to say that. OK , I thought of all by myself.

Chuck, Those are not leaves. They are organic mulch.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
That's what I tell the wife when she is fussing at me to rake them..... I tell her the mower does a lot better job of grinding them up for the yard to enjoy. :wink:

Well the boat has been in the barn for a few months due to surgery and too much work. I managed to get it out today and give it a good cleaning. I applied the first coat of varnish and it is looking good. Having to brush this boat as I have not had time to build my new shop.

More to follow shortly. Got to hurry up and finish this one I am ready to get started on the stripped Northwind.
