Va Beach v20 project

I like the way yer sealin' those holes!!...why go to all the trouble you have and NOT overkill sealin' the core...gotta be the number 1 cause of transom failure...plus it LOOKS KILLER!!...:clap:
 
I actually have 2 projects in 1 happening on this boat. Im also astetically restoring my 1975 135hp evinrude. The whole lower end is getting new seals and painted. the trim and tilt bracket was sand blasted and shown here is etch primed as of today. the whole motor will shot with epoxy kote and then painted Evinrude White. heres some pics of the process.

reel the boat is gonna rolled with gelcoat and not painted. I might just paint it with a brightside interlux white
 
Nice to have it all coming together at the same time! I'm going to have to wait a season to fix my cowling up. I wish you would go ahead and shoot it with some pearl white so you can tell us how you ended up with great results and save me some reading and sanding. Pearl white with new decals sure would look sharp reflecting those under-gunnel lights

Setting aside the process...I just always thought boat color and motor color when the same looked pretty cool custom...;)

I completely agree with you on the motor color and top side color. Im gonna try and get the color as close as possible. I have a new product Im researching now. I have an engineer at work getting some info on a rubber roof coating that is the same material used to coat fiberglass tanks and industrial equipment. They just used this product on a job and it costs 30 dollars a gallon and is uv stable comes in white,grey and light green. we will see!!!
 
well my ultimate goal for finishing my deck was to use a bedliner type/kiwi grip style coating for the floor and deck cap and anchor lockers and other areas. Well after many days of research I have found alephatic product that meets my specs. Its a SRC Tempco roof coating!! thats right a roof coating, its doesnt say MARINE or WEST MARINE on it. Thats because its the same product spec but just in a roofing application. I happen to find a local vender here in va beach who sells this product and he happens to have an account with my work. So after a couple minutes of talking to this rep he is amazed that my application is gonna be on a boat because he has been begging this company to market it for the marine industry. He told me its amazing that an ole country boy like me from pungo would be the one to research this product and drive the nail home as to why it should be used for boat decks. Anyway he is giving me a 5 gallon bucket of this stuff for FREE!!!!!! Yes free!!! he wants me to help him get this on product on boats. This could not only end up being good stuff for my boat but also a buisness adventure!!! So it official, all my top side will be done in a alephatic bedliner type non skid, color will be white.:sly:

Nice goin'!!...my only concern is ADHESION...in a roof application, what material is it typically applied to?...will it bond to the present gel coat surface on the floor deck of yer boat?...

The problem is going be to much adhesion!!! once applied it will take c-4 to remove it!!. they apply this stuff over rubber membrane,masonary,plastics,frp (fiberglass), epoxy and even some asphalt applications. There is gonna be no problem with sticking. This is actually the same alephatic compound as kiwi grip or gorrilla grip just doesnt have the chunky chips in it. Its a smooth surface. comes out finished with a 35 mil. thickness.
 
Could I have used a similar product on my motorhome roof? If so, that's awesome stuff....I've used it for numerous applications around the house. What color does it go on? The stuff I use is white, sold by gallon or 5 gallon
 
The only way I can explain it is that its a polyurethane sealant coating. kinda like 3m 5200, but 5200 is a aromatic witch is not very uv stable and not very color retentive (5200 chaulks up after a while and yellows). this compound is a aliphatic witch was made for top coating aromatics. Being aliphatic makes it a super coating which is highly uv stable and holds its color retention for a very very very long time. Theres only one down fall to this stuff, If i decide to take it off one day its gonna be impossible!!!! lol!!!
 
Well the day is good!!! the rep. for SRC drove literally 30 minutes to my house just to give me a free 5 gallon bucket of this coating. he is very anxious to see how my application comes out. He also mentioned if this works out the way he expects it to that he is willing to want to start trying to market this stuff for the marine industry. Kinda exciting thing to be a guinne pig. should be doing some testing on saturday afternoon over raw glass and gel coat. My liner will and side of my cockpit will be primed and painted with perfection but all my imediate deck and cap with rolled with this product.
 
Kracker, is this stuff like RhinoLiner for truck beds? If it is than I put similar stuff on my V21's boat deck 2 years ago and it's amazing how nice it is. And yes, if you ever have to remove it you're gonna hate it.

Yes its the same stuff but doesnt have as much solids in it than rhino liner has. meaning its not as agressive as rhino lining. Its very feet friendly
 
Heres a prime example of a company that put a marine label on the roof coating im using on my boat. Notice it say E.P.D.M chips in it? what do you think rubber membrane is on flat roofs? you got it EPDM. Same $hit just in a different sack.http://www.tuffcoat.net/wordpress/ and did i mention the stuff im using is fire resistant, so if she catches fire were good!!!!! lol!!!

I didn't use Rhino Liner per sec. I just used that name cause everyone knows the product. For the life of me I cannot remember the name right now and I'm too lazy to look up the thread here where I talked about the product I used and it's name. The product I used is very soft on bare feet. But I can tell you that it goes on easy and once on it will take an act of Congress and the will of God to remove it. It was recommended to me by a friend that owns a marina. He told me they use it on boat decks, the floating docks and the areas around them as a non skid surface. Claimed it was better than anything else they had tried. I'm betting that you're going to be very happy with the results.
 
I hope so because it will be on there for a while like you said. This product im using has no aggregate in it so its gonna be nice and comfy on the bare feet.:beer:
