Dancing the Boat

Building this boat is kind of like dancing a box step... step forward, step sideways, step back, step sideways, repeat ad nauseum. Greg decided that he didnt like the red finish on the bottom... too much orange peel texture for him. So we sanded it smooth and tried a roll and tip. It wasnt good enough. Now Gregs decided to do an epoxy-based, black-tinted bottom, infused with graphite, giving us a smooth bottom that (theoretically) will give us a more durable bottom coat that does a better job of sliding over rocks without killing the paint. He had done the copper-infused bottom paint, but since were going to be running this almost exclusively in fresh water, hes not concerned about buildup on the bottom.
