Once I am done experimenting, I will be giving this boat to a friend of mine. His is a big University of Oregon fan, so the color scheme is green and yellow. I had it all done on Thursday, then it rained on Thursday night. That was when I discovered the idjit at Sherwin Williams sold me Interior paint instead of Exterior paint. Now I have to strip the whole boat and repaint.

See those brackets sticking out of the side? Those are to hold my leeboard in place. Remember them - they come into play later on.
