Got it faired out.
Primer layed
First coat sprayed
Last coat down. It dries alot more of a tan color but i noticed as i wet sanded between coats yhe yellow comes back. I did a quick cut and buff in one section today and it’s gunna shine up real good and the yellow will pop once it’s all cut and buffed.
Then i layed down the gator glide.
Really loving this Pettit paint.
Finished wetsanding and buffing last night.
Then we flipped it and threw it in the pool.
I wasn’t happy with my butchered bulkhead and wanted more cockpit space. For it being a 16ft boat the deck was to big and I just wanted more space. So I cut it out and I’m making a new one. Possible making the opening slightly smaller too
Finished up the new bulkhead. Also added a layer of glass to the hull up front and will add glass to the hull as I work my way to the back of the boat.
Got the holes drilled and some paint applied so I can put the rod tubes in.
had a boring late night in the garage and mocked up a rough deck. Cockpit isn’t shaped yet but will be as open as I can make it.
Was going to to infuse this fly somewhere in the buildafter i cuaght my PB red with it but ended up sucking it into the vacuum and it was long gone 
Added some new glass to the gunnels for a little extra strength. Finished glassing the rod holders and supports. They’ll be smoothed out and faired soon.
Kinda working in sections (front middle back) and very close to finishing the front.
First round of fairing was layed down and partially sanded. Very happy with how smooth its looking so far.
All this work shaping and sanding by hand paid off. Really happy with how it’s turning out. Especially the rod holders and bulkhead openings. This is just the first couple two layers of primer. Next I’ll finish the rear of the boat and lay final paint/nonskid. Going with off white inside
Almost done with the hull and ready for the cap to be built.
The sponsons were uneven after flattening the floor of the boat so I added a bunch of layers of 1708 where needed.
Interior paint and nonskid will be next. Tomorrow I’ll be adding the drain plug and tied downs. Paint will be this week.
Sponsons needed alot of work. I added more glass in a few areas and tabbed the transom in a little better after this pic
Didnt plan on laying nonskid first but it got to late last night to spray the first coat so I applied the nonskid
I used off white pettit paint mixed with boat builder central nonskid additive that Simsknives had left over from his project and was nice enough to let me have it. It came out looking really good and was very easy to apply. I will be spraying two more layers of paint on top which will make the texture perfect.
Started running pipe for the gas line up front and some electrical.
Randomly found some color matched drain mats on Amazon. They turned out wayy better than expected!
Ive had this big platform ive been using as a saw horse for the last year. Chopped it up today and going to blast the paint off. Then ill be polishing it.
Spent some time polishing. Still needs a little more but looks much better than before. Had to fill and sand alot of Knicks and scratches
Got the cap shaped up enough to glass the underside. I hate how thirsty the divinycell mixed with the 1708 was. But i had 1708 laying around so i decided to use it.
Going to add some coosa supports for the platforms also. Ignore the beercans on the ground. I stayed up real late this past weekend knocking it out. I really need to take a break and organize/clean my garage. Its disgusting as you can see.
Mockup before glass
i worked in 15oz batches. ended up going through 1.5 gallons.
Got the underside all finished with platform supports and some more support incase i ever decide on a trolling motor.
flipped it back over to make sure everything lines up and to mark where accessories will line up. I stared at this for a while.
