It has been a while but I have been able to accomplish about 98% of what needs to be done to get back in the water. Here are some after shots. I didn't take many if any of the "during" process.

In. Looks like good info on the site. Added to Favorites.

I am about to install lights on my tracker this weekend and I like the look of yours. Where did you get them? How much? Details man... We need details.

I like the seating idea. I may have to steal that for my current build that I have on here. I should be starting the inside this weekend and I think we have the same carpet.

Going to start cutting the decks and floor this week. Going to coat the plywood with Rustoleum spar urethane and let it sit for a few days before putting the carpet down. I have grey carpet to go in it. I am also going to begin cleaning up the console and repainting it.

I had my own custom decals made and I like how they turned out. Let me know what you think. After decals and registration...

Got the trailer bunks recarpeted and the boat on her today. I like how it is turning out so far.

I have heard of many people using white vinegar also. I agree with the acetone wipe and that is what I did. You can definitely tell a difference before and after the acetone wipe. Make your your area is well ventilated. I didn't use the Parker's primer but if it is as good as the paint, it...

Thanks for the compliment. Progress Today.... I got the boat flipped over yesterday and today prepped and painted the interior. I prepped the sides and top and painted. Did't worry about ribs and floor since they will be covered anyway. It turned out pretty good I think.

Definately spray with an HVLP. I used one for the first time and it was extremely easy and it looks great.

I ordered mine from Cabelas and had it in 3 days. You can also order directly from their site.

After doing research I have decided to just clean up the rusty hardware, recarpet the bunks and leave it. The only reason for paint was for looks and you're right. It doesn't look bad. It is galvanized. 2003 Magic tilt brand.

Thanks for the compliments guys. This weekend I plan on re-doing the trailer. I will probably paint it black and recarpet the bunks. I will probably try out the Rustoleum Topside for the trailer. 1 Quart should be enough. Here are a couple pics of the trailer...

Decided to go with the Parkers in Marsh Grass. Went on very easy with HVLP gun and looks great. Does anyone have any experience with how long it takes to fully cure?

Dave, I did flush the acid off thoroughly and did that before I flipped it and brough inside. I was mainly wondering about what I should do over the primer if anything. I will probably just wipe with a damp cloth and then spray today. That way it can be curing all week in my 100 degree shop.
