For some reason I am not able to post any pics anymore
Do they need to be re-sized?

Probably is the problem. It could be the new phone has a much higher resolution but I had to resize when I tried to post a picture of my boat. I thought the site used to automatically resize but it no longer does for some reason. Something else for you to work on Patch!  LOL!!

Resizing the pictures automatically would be great.. and turning them straight..especially for Henry...oooops.. just kidding...

Just a few more pieces of glass to do on the bulkhead, I will put some tabbing on the runners from the top deck to it . Pulling the rubrail this weekend, and have a guy coming with a tow truck to help flip it using the boom after the rubrail is off. Then the bottom fun begins! Finally get to see some color soon!  jump.gif

Gonna ditch the rubrail completely & cap it or just going to start fresh with a new one?


What's up with posting pictures, may have to hit up Matt, see if somethings up.

I pulled the rubrail so when I paint the bottom it wouldn't be in the way, that way I can mate the color under it. Yes I am replacing it for sure.

More work on the rubrail filled in all the holes with peanutbutter today, was a teadeous process fighting gravity to keep it in the holes.. I am not 100 percent happy with the outcome, it didn't bond all the way thru on the majority of the holes. So I am going to add a bead of peanutbutter on the inside to ensure 100% bond, then fill from the inside. Had no idea this part would be so time consuming was really expecting it to be upside down by this evening.  :smile15:

Did you mix some Cabosil with the resin?
