Day 60, 11/13, Front water tank opened, Interior parts templates, 7 Hours

 Water

Front water tank 

I look through the port in water tank and see osmosis pox and residue traces on them. Definitely not a best thing to fresh water tank. When i started to take screws from the tank lid... they are appeared THE "black drywall" type, rusted as hell, most of them are steed under 45 degree angle. When i tried to undone them they just break on rusted necks.

To take cover off I cut it in pieces and removed.


Looks like somebody used liquid nails instead of silicon or polyurethane sealant.

THE Most mystic thing is a 6mm hole drilled on the middle of  tank bottom.

I did not believe my eyes and suspected it is just chipped gelcoat. I inserted screw there and it easy get in. ;-)

Interior

Headliner

Put temporary plywood slats instead of just screws to eliminate plastic stretching. Now ceiling looks really good. Can't say the same about stuff around.

Length of trim  parts for the headliner (pencil writing)

 

Interior walls and front cabin cabinet templates.

Made templates to cut interior parts. Next time will  tab them to hull.

Engine Take engine from the boat and move to home garage. Easy to say, hard to do. Water level in the lake now is 40ft below normal level. And total height drop between parking lot and docks about 70-80ft.  Marina has no lift, ramp or crane to move something more than 200 lb up way. Only way is very long stairs with 140 steps.   View form the parking lot...    Staircase we climbed up. Yes, you can see the lift, but it is only 200lb capacity and no way to use. Picture was made on the middle of the process. Based on engine spec it has to weight 400 lb. It is a lot but should be more or less bearable weight for 3-4 people. Challenge was accepted, but looks like it is heavy enough to do a problem ;-) Moving from boat to dock was very easy, just hook chain hoist to boom lift it  and swing boom to the dock. put on a dolly and roll it to staircase. After an hour of planning we (My son and I) decided to use blocks and ropes to slide it up. We mounted engine on the plywo...

Day 138, 4/6, Deck priming, 2 days, 8 hours total

 Deck Spent a day to wipe all to clean, then de-greaser, then solvent, and then priming.  Surface area is not too big, but still be ~400 sq.ft.    I did wiping and cabin top at one day, cockpit and area next to toe rails in second one. Primed only area plan to paint glossy. non-skid paint does not require priming, just washing with detergent, but it will be later.  Observed two problems  first - rolling and tipping leaving brush marks  even when 25% solvent added. Second - (actually helps to maintain first) I need second layer because  one layer of primekote does not covering well. So, I plan one more gallon of primer and one mode day to of sanding and one more day of priming.   End of day1     End of day 2
