Nice work!  How long did it take you?

Thanks Patrick. Man, took me a lot longer from start to finish than I originally anticipated. But that's probably because it was the first time I'd done I'd undertaken this project so there was lots of learning. Think it would be quicker should I do it again (which I'm not looking forward to anytime soon!)

Wow, congratulations on a great job. Those drives will love you for that!

Walleye,

Where on the Potomac are you?  I'm slipped at Quantico.  I had more corrosion than you did this past season.  I think it was due to some stray current in my Marina (boats don't move/neglected). I just did my drives this past week.  I did all the sanding, and I used a marine epoxy to fill in the pitting.  I gave each drive 2 coats of primer and then I used Trilux 33 (brushed on, not spray).  Hopefully they will hold up better this season!

I'm up in DC. Sounds like you put in a solid effort on your drives. Have a great season!
