Painting the Bilge

Took the deck back off the boat so the below deck areas could be painted. Painted with a gallon of Interlux paint for bilge painting. Used the mini grinder to rough up all surfaces before painting. The deck is solid under my weight, but when Beau stands on it, it flexes just a slight bit, so I decided to put two sets of additional supports between the stations on the bow deck. Also just the holes out for the drain holes, and Beau happened to have a stainless sink drain at the shop, which fit down perfectly. I think the drain will actually be really unique and also really functional.

Cross members to add support for the deck.
