Fresh Coat of Paint

Fresh Coat of Paint

The bottom paint on my boat was long over due. I had a window of opportunity to complete this project. I pulled the boat, power washed it and scraped the barnacles off. Next came hanging the boat and sanding the bottom. I always like when the sanding is done. Two coats of paint were applied  on the bottom and three on the sides( 1 gallon total).  My favorite part is pulling the tape off . Ahh… The most enjoyable part is seeing the boat anchored at Cayo Costa.

    That's one of those projects that you hate to start, but you're glad you did once it's done. Looks great!
