[QUOTE="gah319, post: 353873, member: 13154"] Woo Hoo =D> All of the painting is done. Rustoleum battleship gray marine paint for the top side and Wetlander in graphite for the bottom. Got the boat off of the saw horses and sitting on the garage floor on a carpet and old sleeping bag. Just a light push on it and the boat wants to spin. The Wetlander is slick. Got all of the framing screwed in and started to carpet the woodwork. Applied the manufacturers logo on both sides. Had an new HIN plate made since the original was impossible to read. Took a bit to find all of the data for the plate, but got enough to have the basics. Placed both on the transom. If the DNR does not like the new plate then they can read the old one... Just got a call from the Merc dealer. My motor is done and ready to pick up. Carb needed overhauled. That is something I could have done, but figured that would add a week or more to the time before I could use it. Sometimes it is just worth it to have a pro do the work. Trailer is about done. Got it painted over the weekend and need to carpet one more of the bunks. Then I can put the boat back on. Would like to get it up off the floor. Bending over and kneeling on the concrete gets harder to do every year. [/QUOTE]
