Hull was given to me and the trailer I paid $50 for. It was not in any kind of shape to use so I borrowed another trailer, put the hull on that and threw the old trailer in the hull. Not pretty but effective. Total investment is around $2000 so far, not counting labor. If I paid myself minimum wage, I figure I've got about 25k into it

This has nothing to do with WhalerCentral as we have no control over outside sources. Joe Kriz attached the following image: [33.4Kb] Edited by Joe Kriz on 03/08/11 - 2:03 PM

Now you have a beautiful Whaler. You're to be commended for your ingenuity, perserverance and foresight. Way to go. Zap If you can't play hurt....stay home.

Member Posts: 7 Comments: 0 Joined: 10/14/10	Wow! I thought I had a rough hull to work with. I'll never complain again. Beautiful job you did. I've been asking people like yourself, how much paint did you use? What products and methods(roll&tip)? I came up with about 200sq foot for the entire surface area of the 13 foot hull. Did you calculate sq footage? Check out my work in progress: https://picasaweb.google.com/kidcarbo...uC5_svKyAE Thanks, -Nick

Member Posts: 55 Comments: 0 Joined: 08/01/10	thanks for the nice comments, I knew it would be a ton of work but I really wanted to try it and use it as a learning experience, which it has been. I posted the amount of paint/primer I used on one of your threads, can't remember which one. Will update with new pics as work progresses, next up is the mahogany
