New Photos - Winter 2013

The Surf Boat spent most of the winter like this...



But was moved into Rick Kotolac's shop for two weeks in February.  Here the topsides have been sanded



Another coat of semi gloss white was applied to the topsides and the rudder primed


After the ice crud was cleaned out of the interior, I was able to apply the first coat of Beetle Grey



The interior 3/4 of the way painted



And all the way painted



While the paint dried, I took some time to work on the centerboard.  Here you see the bronze bushing we are using as a hinge point



The bronze bushing




A view of the bronze centerboard that local Ron Shepard made for us


Here is the centerboard bolt in place with washers and O-ring gaskets 



The interior was sanded once more and a 2nd coat of grey applied.  Then the sole beams were installed



Another coat of white was put on the topsides


And the floorboards are installed



And here she sits once more, awaiting warmer weather
