Prep Prep Prep

Want to get everything as perfect as possible for awlgrip, so you guessed it, today was more prep!

Sanded the hull to 100grit. It's now a lovely blue with red splotches.

Faired the bow and applied a thin coat of neat epoxy. Have a couple small places to fill in which will be done with polyester putty.

Worked on the gunwale, makingit waterproof and smooth. Its starting to look good enough that I'm really thinking about just putting on the toerail and not using the vinyl rubrail. Can't believe how many times I've changed my mind on this. Final call will be made after it's painted. If it looks good, no rail. Should the joint crack (possible) badly, next year I'll just put the vinyl on.
