25 Coombs Cove pilot house build

I find spraying much easier. Need Room around hull and LIGHT. Plenty of light. I use Imron.

I didn't think you could still get Imron?

Now Nason . Same stuff.

I have the compressor and everything its just I havent sacked up and tried it yet..

Remember that the first coat is a tack coat, it goes on light. Takes 3 coats or more, so do not get too crazy with any one coat.

Took some videos of the boat for the buyer last night.. Inching towards the finish line.. got the wiring done besides the radar mast, scuppers and hatches cut in, rubrail installed, barrier coat and bottom paint on.. I need to dump it in the water to get the actual water line to finish up the bottom paint.. I had a suzuki tech coming to finish the wiring of the outboard and then in a couple weeks im taking it to maine to have the outboard put on and take it for a ride..

Gonna be happy! Great work Bill.

So sick. Kinda a shame it’s going to TX. That’d be a fun little tuna slayer around here

I checked this boat out in person a few weeks back.
Really like it !
Looking forward to see some video of the sea trial.

2 weeks I’m headed to Maine to put the motor on. We will get plenty of videos of it.. I bought a drone I might try that out too

 

[Bill]

Finally got to see what it looks like . Going to fuel up and mark the water line

 

[Eastporter]

Proportions of the house to hull look spot on!

 

[fishfull thinker]

Love it Bill! Great job as always

 

[cb34]

Great job, don't you need the motor on to mark the water line

 

[Bill]

Great job, don't you need the motor on to mark the water line

I just put a 55 gal blue barrel in the back with water Will. It’s just about the same weight.. what was interesting is trying to hold on to the boat and mark the waterline myself today with this wind. I won’t do that again.

 

[Raider Ronnie]

Awesome

How close was the waterline to the original estimate?

How close was the waterline to the original estimate?

Wasn’t far off. I think it’s a lighter boat.. right above the chine in the back , maybe 3-4” below the chine at the bow

A thing of beauty !!!
