My Moby Dink is basically finished. I need one more window of weather to do the final epoxy work, mostly small booboos and dings. This weekend looks good. I have done all the machine sanding I can do and am down to hand sanding.
I hope to get to painting next week.

Oar locks are mounted. I made them out of oak left over from the skeg. There will be aluminum plates added. The oars shown are from my inflatable and will not be used with Moby.

I had hoped to start the color painting today but with last night's rain and humidity, the primer did not cure enough to start this morning. I placed the tent back over the boat and put a heater under it. Hopefully, I may be able to paint this afternoon. It took almost the whole gallon of primer for this little boat. The wood was thirsty. Here is a shot with the final primer.

A brief window between wind and rain squalls allowed a splash of color. I applied coat number 1 of 2. More colors to come.
