 Interior

 After month preparation and 2 weeks vacation out of country we  finished painting galley cabinets and main bulkhead with gray finish paint.

 

Paint main bulkhead from main cabin side to make visually more space and match colors of bulkteads. Port side is original with teak veneer and starboard side is  new one with mahogany finish. 

Also make accent coloring galley base cabinets.

Spent about 3 hours with Maria to clean as much as possible dust by vacuuming and wet rug wiping all surfaces in main cabin. Trust me there was a lot of dust.

So, we put 2 layers of Interlux Brightside (polyurethane one part) paint in Seattle Blue color. Used roll and tip technique as we did paining head walls.  Only difference, I bought Redtree - 2" Badger Brush for tipping. It is not cheapest on the market ;), but it payed off every cent I spent for it.

In process


 2 layers was done with ~18 hours dry time between. then in 24 hours masking tape removed.

Day 183 1/5/25 Take engine home.

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
