Blueprinting is finished and its in primer!
I removed any hook that was in the pad as well at the first chine. I left the hook in the second chine and wings. I just made sure those were straight bow to stern and sharpened. All the trailing edges were sharpened as well.
I added a layer of CSM to the underside of the hull deck seam to smooth out all the repairs to the lip on the hull.
I rolled the primer on following the advise of my supplier. He suggested it would fill the little pin holes on the fiberglass better than spraying. Seemed to work well.Last edited by tnelsmn; 04-08-2020 at 11:23 AM.

TwzteD, I'll see how well it worked once I start block sanding the primer. But none of them re appeared while it was curing.

Happy to say this has been the easiest product to sand since starting the restoration. I've been using 80g and done it all by hand, it goes pretty quick.
Now I'm just debating if I need a second coat since I sanded off so much of the primer exposing the glass blow. Or just move right to spraying the gel?
Also, popped a head off the engine today since I wasn't ready to start sanding yet. Pretty happy with how it looks inside considering its 40 years old and has been sitting for the last 15 or so years. Cylinder walls still had a good coat of oil on them.Last edited by tnelsmn; 04-12-2020 at 10:39 PM.

Looks great! I wish I could help you with another coat of primer but I have no clue. I would think you want full coverage of the primer for the gel to key into and to help hide the repairs. But I do not know. I know on my Viper that was done in all white gel is showing repairs that I could not see 5 years ago and I have not done anything to the gel, no wet sanding or anything like that. The repairs are faint, but you can see them.
That motor should run well, make sure to clean the fuel system and carbs! I have one as well that is super clean if needed, but i think you said you're going bigger on a future powerplant, Promax or something.?.?.?
Looks great and if you ever want a side gig you can do the bottom of my vking!!!1973 Viper - sold

I wish I knew more about this stuff. Haha
I plan to run new fuel lines, bleed lines, rebuild the carbs, fuel pump, and check the electrical system before even trying to make it run.
Looking at a ProMax or 225x in the next year or two. Just need this one to run for a few more seasons, then keep it for a back up.'78 Hydrostream Viking/'98 225 ProMax
