yesterday, finished the new bed install in the ochre longhorn..
took about a week start to finish, what a heap of work!
Mar-K longhorn pine board kit, non-polished SS strips and bolt kit, rubber pads..
Jamestown Distributors Total Boat products;
2 coats deep penetrating epoxy, first 25% acetone
6 coats Gleam gloss spar varnish..
brushed, rolled, sanded, repeat, repeat.......
wire wheeled, primed and painted cross members for the new wood..
anti-seized everything and all hand assembled and hand tightened with ratchet..
all done on the truck, bed lifted up on blocks by hand where required..
mom helped a bunch! quality control, held bolts down while I started hardware, etc.
I'll save all the details for another thread but turned out fairly decent I think..
now everyone is afraid to put anything in it
ochre 71 longhorn done, red 71 longhorn and 65 C20 to go
