I hope this weekend I can upload some more videos just need time to edit.

Tonight I sanded the primer down in some high areas, going to apply another coat and then paint.

First coat of Rust-oleum topside is on. Very thin coat, will need three at this rate. This really makes those small dent stick out! Guess I will fix those.

Great start.

I vote for leaving the dents, they are character.

Your boat looks similar to my '97 Sylvan, build thread in my signature. Mostly videos.
 
Nice job. I liked the video. The wife didnt look to impressed in the video...lol :lol:. Mine checks on me every once in a while. Makes a walk around then goes back in. How did you fill and what did you use on the small holes in the hull? I am almost to that stage.
 
Put another coat of paint on the boat last night. One more coat and it should be good.

My flotation foam that also aids in deck support will be here on Friday. Should be interesting mixing and pouring that stuff!
 
Third coat done, turned out okay. Need to wet sand it and polish it up. Saturday I hope to get my foam poured in.

Okay people need some help please, see photos below. There is a lip on sides of the boat that removes,
Does the wood set on the lip or under? The wood I removed was so rotten I couldn't tell.

Based on holes I think the wood go under the lip.

Poured one side of foam, I will have about twice the amount of flotation versus what was in it to start.

I just bought a 1987 Blue Fin 17' Fish and Ski with a 1995 60hp Mercury. I just started stripping her out for new flooring and transom, Also changing it to center console...
 
Was the pour-in foam pretty easy to do? I'm in the process of redoing the floor on my 1986 SeaNymph 16ft and removed a bunch of the waterlogged foam as well. I'm trying to decide what to replace the foam with.
 
Sorry I been missing but life happens. As King Solomon say "there is a time for everything".. I got my boat about 75 percent complete, enough to take the kids fishing four times.

I epoxy covered the wood decking both side so water shouldn't be a problem, tossed in some carpet, new tires on the trailer, and wheel bearings.... Still need seats, navigation lights, wiring, and four seats ( boat is rated for five people, and 50 hp). Need to paint transform inside... ah well I am on the water!!!
