40 Years of Previous Owner Neglect

a month ago by JayleneSlide to c/sailing

If it's a boat, it needs maintenance. That's 40 years of bilge slime. It took us two weeks of eight hour days to de-funk the bilges.

But the payoff on the fairing and painting...

:D It was unfinished polyester. Now it's white epoxy bilge paint all throughout.

At least big enough to sub lease the bilge as spacious apartment!

Gotta admit if I could disassemble our bilge like that, I'd make it shiny too!
