Surprisingly only took 3 hours to sand the port hull side today. We値l spray it with slick sand when we spray the instrument panel. The starbd side is rougher, it will take more time.

Billy was caught up today so he put two coats of polyester on the port hull side. Haven稚 sprayed the instrument panel or starboard hull side yet...

Thanks guys, been sanding on the instrument panel, also Billy put three coats of black urethane primer on the windscreen/fairing(what are we calling this?)

also if anybody knows of an arch for a 38 I知 in the market for one. I posted this on Facebook. I need one just like this one I知 borrowing now from a friend. If I can稚 come up with one I値l have to make it.

I have a very nice arch I pulled during a resto on a scarab 400, I値l donate to your cause. My 400 is back in Fl waiting for me to get enough energy to replace the transom, it痴 otherwise a very clean boat but looks better without the arch. The arch is in Priest River Idaho, you can have it but you need to arrange shipping.

Thanks a lot I'll get with you as soon as I can.

I tried to send you a private message hoodoo but it said your box is full.

I got the rest of the engine compartment bulkhead glassed in place. Also hole sawed for the fuel lines for the engines. Rik sent me some studs, drivelines (double ujoints) and a highly polished tie bar for my drives. I致e also got the instrument panel ready to prime.

I know we致e talked about this boat might have been a turbo boat in the past, we値l I was going thru the gauges and wiring and noticed there are manifold pressure gauges in the instrument cluster. Correct me if I知 wrong but there would be no need for these unless it was a turbo boat? Thoughts? Opinions?
