      Primer took longer than expected to dry so we put it out in the sun and turned it like a giant steak over the weekend

      In the mean time we were able to put the new tounge on the trailer. Buying a 20' joint and sending it to galvanize thru a buddy was cheaper than 12 foot at McClain. That led to re setting bunks,adding wire, buying new coupler and putting the winch back on.

      I had some sheet aluminum laying around and I was never impressed with the plate on the transom so we cut a new one.

      Gator glide was ordered for the bottom and was supposed to be here on the 27th. Today the owner emailed and let me know the shipment was lost. We're back at day zero or less on that

      It's sanded and ready for paint once I get some tack cloth to wipe it down

      What a cluster it's been lately

      New vs. Old transom plate

            Had a chance to throw some color at it this morning. Should have burned the instructions away upon opening the box. That or hit the transom and quit and waited for the results.

            It looks better than when we started but I feel like some prep work when out the window. Live and learn I guess. Maybe some high grit sanding and the second coat will straighten it up a hair

                Top side from total boat.

                Measured and thinned to a T. There was no need to "tip and roll"

                  Second coat went on yesterday. My son is gone for two weeks working on a ranch as an archery instructor. I'll probably do the gator glide while he's gone so it's ready when he gets back. Days are numbered before it goes back to Florida

                  Sanding and trailer bunks, rollers and extended the tounge

                    A Gheenoe is on my bucket list.
                    The project is looking good, sorry about all the shipping issues! That seems to be the story everywhere these days.
