I accomplished a good deal again today. It’s pretty late and although I’m going to skip the visit to the gym in the morning (to recover from today!), I’m headed to bed soon. I’ll make a post with more detail tomorrow – but the port for the port hull is installed and only lacking drilling through and installing the final screws. I got a 4′ section of the hull sprayed with gelcoat as a test that went pretty well. I had a lot of orange peel because I didn’t thin it with the correct medium (more on that tomorrow). I test sprayed over the area where I melted the foam core and repaired – it came out exceptionally – I can’t wait to get both hulls sprayed! I also mounted the self tacker track on the front beam and that turned into a fiasco. First, somewhere between there and here, it was bent (fixed it), several screws were galled and I had to retap everything and clean up the screw threads, and now I have several interference points that limit the motion of the self tacker to about 5 degrees (should be almost 90 degrees). I also got the trailer box mounted to the trailer, mounted latch hardware on the front, and carpeted the box bottom and sides. It looks spectacular too. YAaaawwn. More in the morning (all the photos are already loaded if you want to see more).
