Just a Quick Update on the Lack of Progress







We have decided to remove the bottom paint down to the barrier coats, at least we hope the stripper stops at the barrier coat. We will be adding one more coat of barrier and then three coats Micron Extra in Shark White. This will give the boat a new look. The Micron Extra is good for both Fresh and Salt Water, so we will be one step ahead for a change.

A 32 gallon triangular water tank will be installed in the bow sometime after the bottom gets painted.

I will also be replacing the engine alternator with the high output alternator we had on the old Universal M-25 engine. This will push me into upgrading the battery cables to 2 gage wire.

Unfortunately too many things have been going on in our lives, and I have not had a chance to start working on the boat this season. Warm weather and no rain would really help. But we need the rain so bad.  Oh Well, it will all get done sooner or later.
