Five.2

July 1, 2008 - In last week's episode, the topsides received the 2nd coat of color, and is settling out for another round of wet sanding and final coat. The centerboard was final painted and re-installed as well.In this weeks show, I final prepped and primed the hull and bottom. The bottom received a rolled on coat of 2-part barrier primer.The original gelcoat water line varied from 3/4" to 1-3/4"in width, and meandered some, so I have masked off a better contoured line down to 3/4" wide which is more proportionate with the boat's wide stripe under the rubrail. The hull and bottom colors start going on this weekend.The new replacement rubrail came in from D&R Marine. They are suppliers of OEM O'Day and Pearson parts. The original rubrail was in tact but pretty sun beaten.
