1960 Evinrude Lark Restoration an painting the hood to match the boat.

1961 Dorsett El Dorado Making her ready for primer paint

Ready for primer Its been weeks since I could work on her I recently moved my home and my wife had a surgery so my attention has been elsewhere. The primer is an epoxy primer (Awlgrip) it sands easy and can be applied by roller or thinned to spray.

One of the things tat took me so long to get this project done is the transom replacement. My timeline was going to be Memorial Day weekend 2016 but I missed that date it was a little ambitious but usually when I give myself a goal, I reach it. I started the boat progect in September 2015 I as I do research on other boat projects and they sometimes take up to two years or longer. 

Ready for the first coat
