First, I am backwards updating these files. There has not been too much worth talking about going on. I have been mostly sanding, re-applying fillers, sanding, and so on. I finally realized that I was being way to picky about the final finish. It comes from my days as a custom painter. I thought about it for a while and realized that bottom paint goes on this part of the boat, and is not shiny and that any small imperfections could not be seen by anyone but me.
