Building Resumes

After about 3 months of negotiating and dealing with the bank I bought a house that has the perfect garage for me to continue my Squirt build. I'm in the process of setting up a workshop and the build will resume shortly, hopefully this weekend.

The Squirt held up great over winter and after spending some time inspecting it, I'm going to continue with the painting process. I've also decided to add another coat of epoxy as I'm hoping to give the hull more of a base for sanding. Next I'll apply the fairing compound and once smooth, I'll add the primer.

As you'll see in the picture below, I picked up another boat. It's a 1967 Cherokee with a late 1960's 40 hp Evinrude. I bought it cheap at an auction and am probably going to do a quick turn around and sell it. I've only been in my house for a few weeks and the garage is already starting to fill up!
