The tasks at hand: Boat, dryer

So the few things that need to be done to this boat are mostly cosmetic. The bottom and sides need to be sanded and painted and the top needs to be re-varnished. I went poking around the internet and found the website of a highly recommended supplier, Jamestown Distributors. They have way too many paints to choose from ranging in price from 20 dollars to 200 dollars a gallon.

I suspect I will need 3 different finishes - 1 for the fiberglassed bottom, one for the wooden sides, and clear varnish for the top. I sent Jamestown an e-mail asking for recommendations. Advice is welcomed.

I'm trying to join the Wooden Boat forums, at forum.woodenboat.com, but it seems I am waiting for some unknown person to approve my account.

Not much boat work will get done this week, but I will order supplies.

Oh, the clothes dryer went out. New coils, flame sensor and igniter are on the way. Another project.
