Painting the hull

The first time I painted it at the marina where they took the boat out and placed it on jack stands. This was done in August 2002.

Here are some spots that needed to be redone because when the jack stands were moved they scuffed the paint.

Ready to go back into the water after having the bottom painted.

Here the lift is getting ready to put the boat back into the water.

The second time I painted the boat I jacked it up myself. Notice the pads that I fashioned to support the boat. This was done in February 2005.

Barrier protection to prevent blistering of the gelcoat.
