14 Ashcraft paint job

jorgeinmiami · #1 02-20-2021, 01:09 PM

Seeing that this weekend was going to be nice sunny cool weather and the little boat has had zero attention in a long while I prepped to paint the hull and interior.
Woke up this morning to a 65 degree sunny day perfect to do some sanding on the hull. I already flipped the boat over with the help of my 2 man childs. I filled in some imperfections yesterday and sanded it down today.
I'm going to tip and roll interlux paint later today. not going for the perfect finish as it's a flats boat that will get beat up in the backcountry.

Will get some pictures later today of before and after the hull is painted

With a little practice I could be good at this

It came out better than I thought it would, except for a occasional bug ....not bad

Still have to do the stern but here are some before and after pictures

I think you confused me for someone else. I only wish I had a 23 to play with.

Since you are in Stuart, you really should check into Signature finish, used to be owned by Tom Fabula, he has since passed, but they are still selling the same paint. I found it real easy to use, roll and tip.
