new 222 rebuild

[LilRichard]

Nice work as usual.  What scuppers do you plan on using?

[Shine]

Dont know - does not matter to me.  Personally, I do not like the ping pong types; they seem to always be clogged, I prefer the flapper type.

I know self bailing is very close with these boats when you get a few people in the back plus a motor set back on a bracket  8)   soooooo....... The tubes are 1" inside diameter, so they can be plugged from the inside with 1" rubber drain plugs  to keep any water out if the boat is over loaded.

[LilRichard]

btw, that was not a loaded question...  

I am just trying to figure out what I am going to use... thinking the TH Marine inlines would be good...

Thoughts?

I dont have a picture, but the ones I have in mind are the simple flapper, that  mount on the outside of the transom, covering the hole of the drain tube.

Those tubes will be glassed though the transom and through the bulkhead,

Mounting the leaning post today  :)

After sanding all the old bottom paint off, we only found one small area of damage - I was pretty happy about the condition of the gel coat.

[LilRichard]

I think I am going to order a set of the TH Marine inline scuppers... probably will not work for your application though.

I like the idea of those inline flappers, Im just not sure if they would hold up overtime with sticks, leaves, hook, and whatever else gets in there

We have been fairing a little here and there on the deck.  The leaning post is glassed in.  We put two coats of the epoxy primer on the hull and deck (light gray).  This new primer has incredible coverage - this is the before and after of only 2 coats...

Need an update!  

[Shine]

will get some new pictures up this week.  Console is glassed down as of Friday.  This week we fair the sole and prime the rest of the boat.  hardware is in hand  

[Shine]

Hit the inside with high build epoxy primer.  Sanding it now to reveal the very   last imperfections.  More fairing today - then the last of the primer  

Then on to fitting hardware before paint.

[LilRichard]

So have you guys decided to keep this thing given all the work you have into it?

[Shine]

Its not the right hull for east central Florida, or else I would keep it for myself.  Someone on the west/gulf coast would get much more enjoyment from the boat than I could over here.  

Besides, I need room to build a new poling skiff :)

Looks Nice.
