Here is the trailer with after being stripped down primed and a fresh coat of paint sorry those pics are kind of small.Also here is the start of the front deck.I have only dry fitted this together with a couple of screws just to get everything to fit properly.I will disassemble everything to get it sealed.I called the local paint store and they recommended using a good spar varnish,has anyone used this with good results?

I have just finished the paint on the bottom of the boat.I let it set for a few weeks with the etching primer only to give it a chance to fully dry and really cure up fully then a light sand with 400 grit really gave me a good base for the paint to be applied over.

Thanks Jasper.The blue tub is gonna be a livewell I have built a top for it that will be waterproof on the inside and carpeted on the outside I wish I could have had a flush lid like the rest of the doors on the boat,but the size tub I chose was alittle taller than the deck,but I think it will work out ok anyways
 
I feel like a kid at christmas! My paint finally arrived for the upper part of my boat today! =D> \:D/
