any updates?

I got the epoxy friday and it has been raining So maybe today I will get it on

any updates?

Hey AC I Got Er Done.  It turned in to a nightmare though.  I mixed it all at once and I got a nice first coat on.  Then I covered the container till it tack up.  When I went to put on the second coat it was all set up in the container.  So I could only put a second coat on the major areas of the leaks.  Thank God it on the bottom of the boat.  I also came back later to look at it and I have drips on the bow.  It does have a nice look from far away and the stuff is cool.  Now I want to paint it and I got the spray paint.  I have a few areas that I driped the epoxy on to the sides.  Will the primer stick to the epoxy so I can finish painting the sides?  I am sure it won't leak no more so it served it's purpose.  Next time I do it  I will only mix one part at a time

Priming

Finished 1

Finished 2

I dig the color. Very old-school.

Do you guys think that I could build a platform on this boat or will it weigh it down and make it top heavy?

any updates?

Sorry you had troubles man, but what I highlighted in red was your biggest mistake....in our PM's I wrote that you only mix what you can apply and as indicated in the instructions as well...no problem tho it doesnt look bad, and nobody sees the bottom.

Yea dude you are rite.  Thanks I couldn't of done it with out you.

looks good man!!!

Do you want to know what I got the boat for?  To paint it I spent $50 on the epoxy,  $12 on primer,  $23 on brown speay paint $15 on tape and wire drill brushes for sanding.  I bought the boat for $100 and the trailer was $250. I also got a used foot Cont. Minn Kota Trolling Motor for $50 and a new trolling motor for a $90.  I have the pedastools for the seats.  I need to get the seats now I found some for $10 a BPS and I need the swivels.  I also need to replace all the wood in the boat and I need new trailer tail lights.  

Looks Awesome, the brown looks great because it makes it look like an old school wooden pram.

as for the floors, see how I did mine in the thread about my boat.  Yours will be the same with a tiny bit of bracing needed to make up for the "V" shape.

Gives you quiet, flat floors and keeps your stuff up off the floor while keeping the center of gravity low.

I think I am going to hold off before I add any more weight to the boat. I want to see how it operates as of now with the seats and new wood and epoxy.  when you add wood to build a deck does this change your capcity load?
