Good to see paint on her after so much hard work restoring the hull surface. Loved the Japan interlude; looks as if you did too. Hope the winter treats the farm well!
Three gallons of primer and three gallons of antifoul. Six total; a gallon a coat for this 32'. Most use the formula of calculating the approximate surface area of the hull below the waterline, in square feet: multiply boat length X beam X 0.85. Typically, 500 sq. ft. per gallon. I plan to use an outdrive antifouling paint for any underwater metals.
@@captaindrew3061 After each coat, there was just enough left in the bucket to go around with a brush for hard-to-reach spots. Used TotalBoat Spartan (blue, then black) for antifoul.
Looking great!!
Keep up the good work. Too bad good work is always hard work. 😉
The truth. Still a good journey. Often nice to get lost in boat work after being focused in other areas, like the farm.

You and me both! As it gets cold, it’ll be nice to redirect efforts to the engine room and getting the Beta 38 fully installed.
How many gals of bottom paint?

If you have any West cell technical questions, a friend of mine here in Wilmington, worked at the Westdale plant
@@JamesJohnston-bh2de I will keep this in mind. Thank you!
