[QUOTE="CrappieSlayer36, post: 398921, member: 19302"] Finally got around to painting the boat, we have a remodel going on at the house so my time has been spent, trying to keep the grass cut, working on the remodel and trying to get the boat ready for fall fishing here in Oklahoma. I used rustoleum, thinned down per the instructions for spraying, and some hardener from tractor supply in the paint isle. The first time I painted it, it looked like hammered dog mess, but I finally got the color of paint I wanted and included the hardener this time around and it came out alright. Unfortunately I did not have an indoor area to paint in so I had to paint it outside. I added a little bit of blue and black to some stock light grey and came up with something I am happy with. It dried like a sheet of glass and should look really nice with some vintage Alumacraft decals on it when I am done. I also did some swapping for another tinny with a motor on it that I wanted for my boat. The new boat is a 1965 Mirro craft 14 footer with a 1975 evinrude 25hp on it. I traded for it mainly for the motor, the motor should push the alumacraft along pretty good? Any thoughts on that motor for my boat. Anyway, enough jibber jabber, on to the pictures. [/QUOTE]
