I've been putting off painting the bilge for too long. Back in the fall, I did some of it under the front cockpit. It was back-breaking, tedious work. So, I haven't been looking forward to doing the rest of the bilge. Today, I decided to finish it.
I took out all the floorboards and set them aside. Then I hit the whole thing with the shop vac. It's amazing how much sawdust, mud, and screws you can find in the bottom of a boat. I even found an old hat that I must have left in there.
After about 3 hours. I got it done. It may need another coat.
After that, I put the second coat of white on the starboard side, and the 3rd coat on the transom and gunwale.
I also prepared the table leg and a piece of nice oak for the dashboard with stain and varnish.
