This is why my tractor wasn't done for the show . . .

No excuse, but here's why my Raider project wasn't done for the show. This project coupled with the fact my good buddy wasn't able to do the sand blasting he promised . . .

Been looking for a particular boat for about 8 months and found it a steal price. . . except the bottom needed repainted. No small task. Copper anti-fouling paint is supposed to be a hazard . . . I think everything is now . . .

So buy a gallon of stripper, spend three evenings of quality time with rubber gloves and wife under boat :wub: , resand, repaint . . .

So I order a new swim ladder and find they revised the design and it no longer fits without a fiberglass mod

Now it fits

I wasn't convinced either when the guy helping told me what we were going to do :eusa-think: Actually it was pretty solid, you could climb around in the boat and everything.

Hook up the Wheel Horse pulling the boat and I bet it makes the cover! Great job on the repaint and the boat looks super! No joke on the pulling it would look great.
