Getting Out The Knees & Priming The Hull

We're back from a short vacation and ready to put the final touches on our V-Bottom Skiff! This week it's time for us to get out our corners knees and our inwhales and caps. The knees are going to be resawn out of a single knee on the shipsaw so the opposing pieces will be book matched and ultimately laminated in the boat. The same lumber that gave us our keel for ORCA has some great 25' quartersawn stretches that are perfect for our inwhales and caps, so we're going to cut those out with the skillsaw. Lastly we're going to put a coat of TotalBoat Topside Primer on the hull over our Epoxy Barrier coat, this will give us good coverage and get us ready for a final coat of Wet Edge Topside Paint.
