That finish looks fantastic! I was amazed on the timing, thinking it would take a day for each grit of sandpaper. Speaking of fantastic... That flag is the perfect size for your workshop wall. I am guessing a 9' x 16' maybe? Fantastic choice!
Large American Flag 10x15 FT for Outdoor or Indoor - Made in U.S.A - All-Weather Heavy Duty Durable USA Flag - Fade Resistant Outside Banner Flag (10X15 FT) a.co/d/9OthAL3 Yes Sir, it went really fast once I got through the initial sand, the first one was really hard but after that it was smooth and easy to do.
lookin; great, you've almost doubled the purchase price..LOL...you have come a long way with the bargain priced watercraft ,have a great safe week amigo...Bob
Sandpaper goes a lot farther if you can vacuum it when it loads up, or step outside and hit it with shop air. Be sure to grease the zert fittings in your elbows!!
Looking good ! I hate to know how much $ you have spent on your $10 boat? It's a labor of love. When I restored my 1985 Cruisers Inc 22ft in 1995 with my Dad, I spent way too much $, but the result was nice. Also, when I restored my 1967 Airstream 26ft trailer in 2008/09 I really spent too much. I had no budget limit, I keep fixing and restoring till I was satisfied. I have a sweet unit now. My little home on wheels.
400 grit on something that heavily oxidized is no problem at all do it with 400 and save yourself a lot of trouble you can go back over it with eight if you want to
As a Grady owner myself, I was initially attracted to the $10 boat but stuck around for all the other random stuff you do. I love your collection of “toys” and the projects. So now I’m a big fan of the channel overall. The boat is coming out great and I really like the old school Grady lettering. Glad you are putting the stripes and stuff back on. It’s just such a good looking classic design, you just need to finish it properly. I’m looking forward to the day you run it on that lake behind your house. But in the meantime, I will enjoy all the content. Thanks!
No machine buffing? I could have missed something in other videos and skimmed over this so take me with a grain of salt, just hate to see you seal her up with some sort of wax or polycoat with sand scratches still in there even if it is up to 3000 grit.

Double the value but spent 1000s times more! 😂
@@shotslife LOL
Looking good, you've put alot of hard work in on the boat, looking forward to splashdown
You and me both!
Looking great 👍 Looks like your are enjoying it. It's going to be a great boat!
Hey thanks!
Looking phenomenal!!
Thanks!
Try that Polyglow on the helm chairs. They can oxidize as well. I am curious if it works on them as well.
I’ll do that, test spot anyway..
Looking good! Looking forward to you getting those Johnrudes up and running. Classic combination.
Me too!
Softscrub , a drill with a buffing pad is what I use to take oxidation off and it polishes it as well, ( Try it you'll like it )
Interesting

The boat is looking great.... its ready for Hampton Roads/Chesapeake to chase those Striper!
lol! I lived in Yorktown for a few years…

Thanks! Thankfully the channel helps fund the boat these days, still out of pocket but not as bad.
A few drops of dish soap helps disperse the sand debris and keeps the paper from loading up
Interesting
If you take that down to the fla. keys, they will all be lined up trying to buy that boat-Very popular down there !!!
Yeah, they like them down there, we don’t see too many up here!
Is there going to be a video on the mezzanine build?
Yes Sir, I did
If you want to remove the bubbles totally, take a sharp razor blade and make a very small cut while using the squeegee to smooth them.
I tried popping them, but I suck at it!
The before and after it's like night and day it's hard to believe that's the same boat
Just wait till you see it after the poli glow is on!!
straight pin in the bubble and rub out with a microfiber towel
I tried that… I didn’t do very good though
She’s looking good. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
I think you could get a little more than $10 for her now Chief. I am here at least until splash day :)
lol, yeah, I think so!
👍
Thanks!

Yeah I was just scared, lol!
Glad you finally got back on the boat I've been waiting a while. You're doing a good job good call with the polyglow you'll be well pleased with it.
Thanks 👍

Hey thanks! I really appreciate the kind words!
Please don’t use Poli-Glow on your beautiful boat.
3M Super Duty would have cut through the oxidation without the need for wet sanding.
3m didn’t work for me..
It is probably too late regarding the Poli-Glow? See “local boydidgood” as he has done hundreds and hundreds of boats over the last 17 years.
You should have used 3m super duty then 3m heavy duty followed by perfect it lot easier than sanding
Tried that, didn’t work for me…
$10 BOAT FAN HERE!
Excellent!!
What nozzle?
Not sure what I said or what you’re referring to… I probably mis-spoke
wow only 5 ads in 30 minutes you're getting better 👍👍
lol, sooo I don’t control that any more, youtube has for about the last year or so…so I can’t take credit.

No I didn’t do that but maybe I should have, I do not see any sanding marks though…
