[QUOTE="richg99, post: 465517, member: 4376"] Nicely done. You will appreciate all of your hard work when you slime the boat with its first fish (after the big refinishing job, that is!). Kind of late to even mention this...but..considering all of the trouble that you had taking the old finish off, one wonders if an inexpensive Harbor Freight Sandblaster might have saved your back and lots of time. I have NEVER used a sandblaster, but I read about guys taking material off with Walnut Shells and other exotic materials, instead of just plain old sand. Anyhow...maybe next time. The one thing that I picked up in your comments about the beautiful seats, was that they were fit very tightly. Let the seat boards be a bit long. My guess is that they will shorten themselves a bit in the first month or so. regards, rich [/QUOTE]
