Thanks for following along.
The time has arrived to paint the deck & cowlings. First coat of
primer is applied & sanded.
The boat & cowlings after the priming.
Cowlings are looking good.
My sanding crew is two of my daughters, 11 year old Jenny & 17
year old Amy.
These photos show the center section and the cowlings after being painted
black. I sprayed the boat with a borrowed Apollo HVLP turbine setup and
used Nason Fulthane 2K paint. The paint went on real well, though I had
little experience painting and no experience with the HVLP equipment.
Cowlings get their color applied.
The last photo shows the body of the main hull painted Orange with
the cowlings sitting on the boat to see what it all looks like.
Here is the boat being lifted from the dolly onto the trailer the old
fashioned way, lots of bodies!
The boat is now on the trailer and I am setting the rear cowling on
to see what it looks like
The boat is in the very messy garage with graphics being tested for
size and location.
The boat on the trailer after the 2004 Madison event. It came out looking
pretty good and ran even better at Madison. My schedule and other events
conspired against us in attending other events during 2004, but we will
be out in 2005 early & often. Thanks for following the progress of
the E-76 Country Stoves as it was being refinished.
