second topside paint job last summer.
i cant seem to find the pics i took during this project. I had to remove most of the deck balsa from water ingress. pretty much all of the non skid areas on both sides and the cockpit floor. this is the finished product.
p.s. since i havent posted in quite some time i wanted to let you guys know that the engine rebuild went fine but might have been unnecessary. it ran when i first got the boat but not as i was about to launch it. turns out that rust had built up in the exhaust pipe and that was the problem. I took this engine in and out about 4 times for what was essentially a banana in the tailpipe.
