Ok all, we were able to get the right bottom sanded down, touched up in some troubled areas, primed, scuffed, then layed some paint down. The entire boat is now painted below the rub. We also started on the back top sides. We have a good bit of paint, material left. We didn't have intentions of doing any of the top this time around, but considering the material we have left, we are going to do atleast the back top sides, possibly the lower gunwales all the way around, if we can do it in the time we have left in the tent.. Then all we will have in store for us next season is to blend the paint to do the deck. It is def more to it then it seems, but it has been fun, to do so far. Plans are to get the areas finished we want to, then move the boat into actual day light, begin the final wet sand and buffing. Stay tuned.

A little closer
Well got it ready to go for the most part. Weather permitting, it isn't to cold we will be able to paint around the decks tom, hopefully have it out of there, bring it home to go over the entire boat with some 800/1000 then buff it out. We felt it wasn't needed to primer the entire section in areas, as the paint was scuffed down was cleaned, will be cleaned well before it is sprayed. All the affected painted areas was certainly removed in hopes to not have future issues.. Fixed some more issues on the boats gunwales with 3m premium marine filler, blocked, finished, then primed with keystone platinum 3 in 1 just like the rest of the boat was done in. Will have some painted pics up as soon as we get there. Coming down to the home stretch. Atleast for now. Spring time we will concentrate on getting the deck done. I think the boat should turn out really really nice, will be badazz looking esp with no deck railings. Also Dad picked up polished stainless through hull fittings. Getting some more of the K planes stuff back from powder soon. I plan to polish all the cleats and fuel caps, external steering parts for a new look before they go back on. Then some very minor clean up in the cockpit. Going to accent some areas in the white carbon di-noc, as well as making step pads out of it on each side of the rear seat backs, so it isn't so slippery when getting in. Going to add a small section of polished diamond plate onto the back wall in the engine compartment to cover all the wiring and trim pumps. Going to add some blue led's to there, the cockpit for some accent lighting.
Were getting there.

Well it is painted. Still will have to paint the top deck, cowling in the spring, but got done what we were after. Addressed all the issues, and blocked the gunwales and side of the cockpit out. Paint layed out nice. Once it sets up, dries good, we are going to block it out with 600, then 800 1000 then buff it. This Imron buffs out surprisingly easy, shines great. Plan to use some 4m di noc for some interior accents, step pads around the seats.
