Yes, the edges look horrible. Trying to paint a straight line on a curved surface is hard! And forget about taping these edges, they're not smooth enough to do that to.
Last for the night I worked on the spray rails. I had some almond paint bleed under the tape and it looked awful. So I bought a real fine angled paint brush and tried that.
For about six inches.
And realized what a stupid idea that was. The brush couldn't carry enough paint to get me two inches. I threw it away and grabbed a chip brush and went to town. Like most things on this boat, the more I did, the better I got, and by the end of forty feet, top and bottom, of spray rail I was doing pretty good. It looks much better.
I got three boxes in the mail today; the chartplotter, the compass and my wire order is here. I also bought a piece of UHMW from a local boat builder and that makes me very happy!
I have the next six days off, so I'm going to see just how close to finished I can get. The two barge companies have two barges each per week, so I'm hopeful the engine might be here soon!
