[Rhodes22-list] Restoration update

[Lowe, Rob]

Rob,
Long time, no hear is right.  But good to see you've been busy.  The results of your labor are quite nice.  Did you do anything with the hull or just the bottom paint?  The blue hull looks like might be a different blue in some of the shots.  What type bottom paint did you use?  And I love the "shade tree mechanics" set up you've used.  Is that strap (-001) supporting the bow of the boat while you paint?  How is it supported? 

- The first Rob

Hello Rhodies

It has been a long time since I've posted here.  If you remember me, I was restoring a  VERY BADLY neglected Rhodes 22 that I picked up for $250.
Anyway, I kind of let an entire summer go by without doing any work on her... because I purchased a Balboa 26 and was doing a lot of work on that
instead.   But this past weekend, I got back to my Rhodes.

I had already stripped the bottom to gel coat, and filled in all of the dings, gouges and blisters and this weekend I put on two coats of epoxy barrier coat and two coats of enamel... and repainted the boot stripe.

I've attached before -- in between and after pics.

Fair winds,

The other Rob
