I wanted to wait until I was finished to
Start a thread but I'm close to being finished and wanna put up some photos. I bought the basic hull from Garret Pearce at the end of January and started working on it in the evenings. The hull is a 1850 square chine with a huntdeck. I only ran it once since I got it ant it ran 30-31 with my MB. I will post speeds when I finish it.

Did you prime the surface before you painted with the Duralux, or just clean and paint?

Went over it with a scuffing pad, sprayed it with vinegar and let it sit 30 mins. Washed it with the hose let it dry wiped it down with acetone and rolled on the duralux
