SeaNova – between the hammer and the anvil 

So, I’ve been working on getting the final finish on the deck and hull. Here’s what the deck looked like once I’d gotten the epoxy applied:


And here’s what it looks like after I’ve filled the spanning gap w/ white filler (a long story with which I won’t bore you). I think it looks nice.


And here’s what the side of the boat looks like with a coat of epoxy.


Two more coats and I can start applying the varnish…

Here’s the look once the epoxy has been applied. The colors really “POP” once the epoxy hits the deck….


I was up early this morning, so I sanded the first coat I put on earlier in the week and then applied a second coat.

I finished all the fabrication yesterday. I finished the dashboard and the interior trim and installed the bow eye and the motor well drains.
Today I stained the center stripe using an aniline dark red mahogany dye. (I had used an oil-based dye but after re-reading the epoxy application materials I realized I needed a water-based dye). I think it’s looking pretty good.
