What spraying equipment do you use? I roll and tipped the bottom of mine but agree I'd like smoother for the sides.
Thanks

The new year and some progress... second coat of varnish, so i don't scratch or damage the face of the ply for the decking... 2 sheets of 8 x 4 will make up the new shiny deck.. hopefully get the deck on this week... anyone know of a leccy start 10-ish hp outboard???? :-)

oh.. and the rear washboard floor.. not the prettiest, but original... and a nicer colour than the deep black, oily dirt colour...
