The "Old" White Cap

3ps4

I just wanted to share my project with you guys. I bought #3 from Skip and am transforming her.... I sanded the hull expecting to find gel coat......there was none and the hull was badly pitted. I am thinking that perhaps the mold was shot with resin instead of gelcoat and the catalyst may not have been well mixed???? Needless to say this took a lot of fixing.

I shot a mastic coat over the damage and filled the rest by hand with 3M filler. Two coats of primer then an Omega (Awlgrip) linear polyurethane finish.

I have ~220 man-hours into my painting project thus far. Hoping to end up with less than 400. That equates to a December launch.

Thanks Skip. I am enjoying this project (the results actually). I wish you could be here for the launching....Lee
