1969 13-footer Restoration
Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2018 11:59 pm
I'm re-doing a 1969 13-footer. [The hull is] now nice and dry, and the transom is still good; it was a bit damp, and I dried it with heat lamps. The hull has been inside drying for a while. I sanded it. I just glassed the transom with 6-ounce and Silvertip.
I plan to do a glass-over of the bottom Vee's, then sides, bottom, and middle keel.
I want to paint it white on the outside and robin-egg on the inside. I am not sure what specific paint colors to use. I am not sure if I will use ablative paint. The boat is mostly going to live on its trailer.
I might need some more advice once I get to the other side.
I like System-3, Petit, and Interlux products.
[The boat] needs all the woodwork, and I don't have patterns.
Thanks for any replies.
