The main purpose of turning over the boat was to be able to weld the bottom.
That succeeded so quickly that I didn't take any picture of it. I have a small Youtube of the final touches however:
Now at the same time I devoloped the idea to coat the bottom as well. When turing the boat boack again I would like to put it on its trailer right away. With a finished bottom I didn't have to move it anymore to coat the hidden spots.
The Keel I had to keep unpainted however. I still have to pour the ballast and I guess that the hot molten lead would damage the paint on the outside.
In the following pictures I'll give you an impression of the "priming-filling/leveling-coating" of the hull:
As you see I had to "correct" some small deformings. After all they were the first stages I build and I was indeed confronted with my lack of experience back then 😔.
Still confused wether to label it as "imperfect" or as "not-bad-for-an-amateur".
