I thought your 30' was pretty, but this one is just "next level"!!! (I'm most excited about PAINT!!!)

Yeah I have full faith in it. All the prep work from the beginning has been with 80 grit. That’s a good scratch for mechanical adhesion. On the bottom side here I’m going for smooth over straight. It was very rough before. I buzzed it with a DA and sprayed it with one coat of urethane primer. Tomorrow I’ll fit it in the boat a final time, then prep the top for urethane primer.

Believe me I’m ready for that myself. 😁
I went ahead and got the boat hanging over the trailer to get ready to weld the brackets on the frame. I’ve got some treated 4x6 and 2x4’s to use as bunks. I like the way the boat looks on the trailer. The trailer was built for an outerlimits 42, it’s a tad big for my boat which is fine by me, my 30’ scarab trailer is a little small for the boat. I also really like the drive guard. I might have to cut on the winch pedestal up front, it may be too tall...

Would agree the pedestal is a bit tall
As always more great work your doing
