[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 330612, member: 8516"] Hey guy, I'm not praying for you, I'm wishing you'd get your young butt down here and help me. I took in another old boat, a Model A Alumacraft, and some madness over-took me and prompted me to first acid wash the oxidation/crap off, then, when that didn't look good enough, I found the stash of wet sandpaper in various grits and have spend the last four hours with the hose, the sandpaper, and the hull from the spash rail to the keel, hand-sanding the sunnagun. I did it on my knees, after moving the boat closer to the hose. I'm half done. It looks better...even good, if you get far enough away. :) [i](Iamastupidmanstupidmanstupidman)[/i] :? :? :? "Tying flys?" What, then you just sit there and watch them struggle like a villain in an old-time western? You have minature railroad tracks you put them down on, with a little train that bears down on them? I don't much like flys, but to keep them captive seems mean. :lol: Sorry you feel like carp...er...crap. I hope you improve quickly, and then you can feel sorry for the old guy sanding the hull of a 58 year-old beater boat. In the meantime, hang in--and keep on posting. [/QUOTE]
