danbouck Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Seeing as how there are a few members posting about their projects I thought I would add mine. As a bunch of you are aware I was on the search for a CHEAP tinny to put on top of my tent trailer for camping trips. I ended up finding one for $200 The paint was horrible, flaking off bright red. I was going to just live with it but I couldn't. So I took her into the shop Friday afternoon and started stripping her down. This is the best part, the paint flew off with a blow gun I got everything prepped and started goin at it. The color is the same as the tent trailer so when she goes on top it matches perfectly (almost ) Had my son helping me (FYI - Clean blackberry lens before taking pics) Spent about 4 hours on it Friday, 2 Saturday and 1 tonight I wanted to turn the boat over and all I thought about was Albert's thread . Luckily this thing is light and I had a forklift So I hooked her at the bow, lifted it up and spun the back by hand. I got her all finished up and loaded into my truck. She is light enough to toss around by myself which is great Hope you enjoyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
