98' RN Restoration

Oh yea. That's nice that he's local. I'm hoping first test ride will be February 1st.

Picked up my paint. Its Nason single stage urethane, "Toyota Super White". Supposed to be a really bright white. Should look awesome.

Nice, White is classy. I made the mistake of painting my bottom hull already b4 I knew the full project I was getting into.

I'm going to buy a paint gun and paint the hull black now and try to make it look really good. Still gotta research all the paints to find the most durable.

Glassed inside. It's nice not having to worry about how it looks on this inside part. Lol

Filled in some cracks and holes with thickened epoxy and chopped fiberglass. Used cardboard wrapped in wax paper for a backing.

Got a ton done today. Finished sanding and blending both sides, figured out my drain plugs (really happy with how they turned out) and sealed everything up. Tomorrow ill be putting foam in and re-glassing tray.

Went ahead and popped the pump nuts/inserts out and re-glued them in.

Heres a pic of my trim tube. I set it up just like the OEM steering tube works. Trim cable will seal with OEM thru-hull seal and screw into the pvc tube.

For the drain plugs I got stainless allen bolts. Welded washer to nut, cut out hull in shape of nut then glued in.

Did the foam today and a couple other odds and ends. Tomorrow I will reinforce the tray with a layer to two of 1708 biax. Would've done that tonight but I had to glue the tray piece in place.

Found a loose motor mount insert. Drilled around it and poured epoxy into holes.
