High humidity has everything stopped – can’t paint when above 75% or so.
Final punch list;
- Paint Interior – 2 coats
- Install Floorboards
- Finish Thwarts
- Paint Trim
- Pick Up Oars (Shaw and Tenney – custom made)
- Launch Boat
These last few things are maybe 8 hours of work, but temp/humidity really controlling completion date. I will be picking up oars while in Maine end of August, so launch should be 1st week September when I get back from WBS class (Fitting Out Small Boats).
