Sure is slow in here. Whats everyone working on? Ive been plugging away on my boat. I hope to have it wet no later than July this year.
I sprayed the gel late last year. Its sanded down now, i just need to go out and buy a variable speed polisher to get it looking good.

Also been working on a rail kit. Started out with a wood template(easier to cut than aluminum)

Once I was happy with the fit, I fired up the table saw and Jig saw and got busy.

Beleive it or not, a table saw with a decent blade on it will cut through aluminum very easily. The Jig saw was a little slower, but it worked.
I should have the plates polished by the end of this weekend. After that Im gonna gel the bilge and transom all black and then work on making the gel shine. Motor is being built at DNE right now and is slated for the Dyno mid June.
