welcome back to sv basic

well here we are on the hard again

i know it feels like we were just pulled

out but it's been over 14 months we were

due for a haul

out and while we're on the hard we're

going to take advantage of it we're

going to get some

projects done some are pretty major

actually and we'll go over those here in

a little bit

first i want to take a look at the paint

while you're on the heart it's a good

chance to really look close to see how

these paints are performing and we use

quite a bit of different products

so let's take a close look at each of

these products

and see how they performed some were

hits some were misses

so let's dive into this

the first thing i want to talk about is

our bottom paint

we use the interlux fiberglass bottom

coat aqua

it's not a blade of paint it's a hard

scrubbable paint

and we put three coats on and

i could not be happier it's gonna be a

big day for us

three days till splash taped off the

water line here

we're putting bottom paint on it's gonna

be the first coat of three

dagger boards are hanging they're ready

for the same

application lin's been over here

stirring

paint day paint days always make her

happy

she'll be dancing here soon i'm sure we

have

zero barnacle growth we did have a

little bit of

scum and light grasses grow on this

but it sloughed right off as soon as we

pulled out of the water

[Music]

but overall i swear by this product

i think it performed amazing

okay the next paint i want to talk about

[Music]

is our top coat and our bootstrap

all right so you see this smile this is

a happy person right here because today

is p day and i mean p meaning paint day

[Music]

it is nice and dry so we went out this

morning wiped everything down

and teal has been taping the boot stripe

i'm tired of this already

[Music]

so teal has started the first coat

of the boot stripe and i gotta admit

it's looking good

is our top coat and our bootstrap

we use interlux brightside it's a single

part enamel

it's a polyurethane and everything above

the water line

did amazing everything close to the

waterline

i feel performed marginal

and why i say that is this bootstrap

looks

perfect out here this is on the sunny

side

as you walk around the bootstrap looks

great

but as soon as you get into the shade of

the bridge deck which is like right here

look what happens

for some reason look at this enamel

it failed

it's really interesting because it just

happens

from the shade of the bridge deck from

here to here

and it looks perfect all the way around

the rest of the boat

i did the same thing on this hole look

at this

you draw a line straight down to the

shade of the bridge deck

and the bootstrap failed

[Music]

as soon as you get to this point right

here where it's unshaded

[Music]

it's perfect all the way around

so i have two theories of why the

bootstrap

failed in just the shaded areas the

first is

when we originally painted this

bootstripe

sun was curing the rest of the boat

faster than in the shaded areas

and it was just enough uh cure out here

that it didn't fail and not enough cure

in here that it did fail

it's tough to think because that was

two two and a half weeks before we

launched you think it would have enough

time to cure

so that's one theory the other theory is

that

as water splashes onto the bootstrap

in the sunny areas it evaporates off and

dries

in the shaded area it tends to be wet

longer

so this is a much wetter area right in

here

so one of those things i believe is

happening i'm not sure which one

but we definitely need to correct it

the next paint i want to talk about is

the paint we put on

the bridge tech actually we didn't even

put a paint on the bridge deck

we only primered it we used the interlux

inner protect

2000 e it's an epoxy primer

multi-part and it just performed amazing

this is a shaded area so we thought

we weren't going to put a top coat on

here and i don't believe i ever will

this has been 14 months and it looks

like the day we painted it

so if anything we'll put one more coat

on while we're out of the water or just

touch up some of the areas

but totally thrilled with this product

[Music]

looking at this bridge deck brings back

a lot of memories

we did this in port townsend up in

washington state

and the amount of work that went into

this was crazy

the bridge deck this bridge deck is my

kryptonite

it has been a ton of work

i think i'm to a good point to put a

barrier coat down

[Music]

i actually am pretty happy with it it

looks looks real good

hey

i thought we deserve a little

celebratory drink

i'll take that

so what do you think well first good job

man this was a lot of work but oh my

gosh it looks so good

okay we use a different product on our

sail drives

it was the interlux trilox 33

we put on three coats and you know what

we have

zero growth on the sail drives and

everything looks like it was protected

nicely

i didn't notice that it is sloughing off

and will require extra couple coats

but very happy with the performance

so transducer paint that was the only

paint that we used that was not an

interluxe product

we were hauled out up in port townsend i

didn't have any

transducer paint and the neighboring

boat

just happened to have a little extra

walked over said hey do you need any

transducer paint

i said i certainly do i put it on

and i wish i didn't it failed

didn't do well so that is one thing i

really want to look at

make sure we get a product that's

compatible with our transducer

that's going to protect those

transducers i noticed

over the past month we were getting

intermittent signals on our

depth soundings and i know why now

too much growth so that'll be a product

that

we're really going to look into and get

the right product on sc basic

full disclaimer we are not sponsored by

interlux paints we just

love their product but interlocks if you

are watching

call me

the worst paint fail that we had

actually happened above the water line

it happened in the cockpit you know

everywhere we used

the interlux interprotect 2000e as a

primer

and then used a bright side top coat

the paints performed amazing but

in the cockpit we used something else we

painted it eight years ago

and we used interlux pre-coat

[Music]

pre-coat on top of epoxy i don't believe

is the right thing to do and over time

it showed the paint failed terribly

let's go up there and take a look at it

[Music]

frankly it's been an embarrassment

everywhere we had the right primer on

the decks

everything's this looks great but down

here from this edge

all the way around the perimeter of the

cockpit look at this

[Music]

look what has happened cracking and

crazing and chipping

it's been getting worse and worse you

know at a glance you don't see it

but you look real close look at these

stairs

paint has 100 failed look at this

and now it's coming apart and these

little flakes

have been migrating into the cabin

and we have to stay on it every day

don't we late i don't even want to talk

about it

this is something that is driving me

crazy

okay it's just it's everywhere and it's

not

easy to sweep up or clean up

it sticks on everything it does not

stick

yes hang on hold still stop stop you got

some pain on you

is that what you're talking about yes

it's so

gross we gotta get this thing addressed

and we will that's gonna be i think our

first project we're waiting for

materials to come in for the hard top

i think i'm gonna jump on this cockpit

and make the family happy what do you

think yes yeah

yes a hundred times yes

all right guys today is the day i am so

pumped for this project this has been a

year in the making and we're finally in

an area

that the weather will permit us to paint

so

today we're going to strip all the

hardware off

in the cockpit and start sanding i'm

going to be standing the heck

out of this cockpit i don't care if it

takes us all night

it's going to happen we're going to get

all these nasty things it's gonna take

more than one night

yes but anyways i don't care and so now

i'm gonna start picking this is like a

hangnail that teal won't let me pull

because she's been wanting to pull this

off for a month and i said just leave it

just let it

like does that feel good feels so good

i don't care now that means that there's

there's no going back

because that means right you've done it

now

now we have to do it give me the chisel

chisel

trying to get to work guys

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

okay well this looks real good we've

taken off enough

to get the cockpit done all the areas

that need attention

we've stripped it all down

[Music]

when we get to the hard top we'll be

taking the electronics off

uh the winches will come off the bags

the winch handle holder because i'll be

blending that in

but for now we have taken off plenty

to get started now the fun part

sanding

so

well after sanding on this cockpit now

for two days

i've determined that the paint did not

fail i did

and what i mean is i painted this

cockpit eight years ago i just didn't

have the proper

preparation under the paint

the staircase was built out of epoxy

i didn't clean the blush off enough and

so the fairing compound

failed under the paint i've

fared all that out and got all that

loose faring out of there

and starting to prepare the surface

getting ready for the new paint

other things that i did wrong was i put

two coats of paint

in this cockpit i didn't scuff between

paints and that's what

most of that flaking was coming from was

the two layers didn't bond to each other

we've got all that cleaned out of here

we're down to good solid paint

and feel real good about it we're not

tracking any more flakes

into the into the cabin you know

it's the preparation behind the scenes

and under the paint that

that is most important and i've learned

that over the years

my painting skills are getting better

and better and i cannot wait

to have a nice new clean cockpit we'll

be putting down a barrier coat

a multi-part epoxy coating on here and

applying a top coat but i'm gonna call

it for today

it's almost time for dinner gotta get

cleaned up

[Music]

all right guys even though we are on the

heart

our rule is at the end of the day we

clean everything up and we have a family

meal

who says you can't eat well on the hard

right
