Double Eagle 185 Build

Case study in why it’s a good idea to run E0 fuel, a racor, and to run your fuel system dry before storage. Glad you caught that before it got worse!

 

[seachicken]

Probably good to run some Aspen fuel in to the engine for storage. I've just bought some for saws and generator.

A new-to-me neglected outboard. Cleaned fuel rail, injectors, new filters, new quantum hp pump kit and quality fuel/additive run thru. Yes I have seperator…. New tanks being built.

… new tanks installed and wrapped up some interior lighting. Hull is primed and ready for a final sand prior to paint. Rigging close to wrapped up. Quick rip to the cabin to dust things off . Thanks again @Brando !

Haven’t updated in awhile… but things are moving along.

Just finished up painting- 4 coats alexseal. Can’t say enough good things about this product. Amazing results with a roller…and an inexperienced dumbass applying.

Nice seeing it go back together. Cheers

Boat looks killer!
You sure didn’t seem to do any ‘fumbling through the process.

Wrapped up front deck non-skid using Alexseal with soft-sand… turned out great. Little closer every day

What'd the prep work look like for that Alexseal?

Straight forward prep.... prime then sand to 400. Amazing product.

I assume there must have been some sanding of the gelcoat prior to the primer going down too? Curious what made you go this route over restoring the gelcoat. I agree the results seem to speak for themselves.

Very sharp.
Do you have plans for the bow rail?
That is the one problem with making the rest look soo purty.

Will get a wire w

Will get a wire wheel/ scotch brite polish … and a sharkhide coat to finish

yes…. Miles of sanding, filling, faring, priming, painting. Easy process… just time consuming. Gelcoat was pretty beat up and required much repair - was an easy decision to paint after researching options. Wanted to update the original blue…. Great results and repairable.
