Repainting


  After a summer of running and expose to the sun, the fiberglass weave started to show again. So I baked the hull again under the heat lamps. I bought a bakers thermometer to make sure she reached the 150 deg required tempter. Each section was baked for  few hours. After which the hull was wet sanded down again with 320 grit then 400 grit. Finally I painted her with Rustoleum Semi-gloss Black and computer match deck red from Interlake Steam Ship Co. Thanks to Scott Tomlinson for getting the paint their!! Looks great!!!
