Peter and Pete sanding and working fiberglass

Today was a busy day. I was doing some ordering of parts and supplies. Peter Butta was sanding to beat the band. Pete Johnston was doing fiberglass repairs. It was a busy place with lots going on. The boat should be all ready for it's Awl Grip paint job in a couple of weeks. 

This is the necessary prep stage to get the boat ready to be painted. It is hard work and sometimes very tedious. When you have a super clean finish with no dings, cracks or lousy patch jobs the paint job is easy and comes out just outstanding.You can't be cheap on the preparatory steps.

We are now in the process of sanding, filling holes with Formula 27, fiberglass and cabosil. 

Peter Butta is really doing a great job sanding the entire inside and outside to a #120 grit finish prior to sanding.

    1979 Mako

    We are starting another complete restoration for Tony Daidone on another 1979 23 foot Mako. This boat is in very good shape and lived its entire old life on Lake Michigan. Having lived in only fresh water makes things a lot easier. There is no salt water corrosion of parts and the boat never had bottom paint on it. It is coming along real good and we will be posting lots of new photos of the work in progress very shortly.
