At 56 seconds you finally admit to what I have been trying to tell you all along.

Sand sand sand lol

@@LightningCapitalLiving I kind of can't help but take it personally when you talk about how you aren't going to show a bunch of boring redundant mundane sanding footage. Like, is he talking about me? You know I'm kidding. You are fighting to the end my friend. Keep pushing before your son is in high school.

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

@@Bigeaux20 it wasn’t a shot at you but now that you mention it I’m laughing. I was editing and thinking to myself “this is going to be 60 minutes of me Timelapse sanding if I don’t cut a bunch of it out”

[@Bigeaux20]

@@LightningCapitalLiving I chose to leave a ton of it in for the simple purpose that no-one else shows what it really takes to build these things. You like most people talk about the sanding they cut out, but it's just different. For example, you like me did a ton of internet research before taking on the build. Neither of us had any idea there would be this much sanding, or tedious glass work stuff. It's a better viewing experience I'm sure. But I look back and just shake my head at it all.

@@Bigeaux20 yep. Nowhere to go but forward now.

Hey Tampa neighbor here. Getting ready to refinish my Proline WAC topside. Just finished repairing the spider cracks and other little things. The skiff came out great. Hope mine comes out equally as nice.

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

Thank you very much. Good luck with your proline.

[@Normanofthenorth]

Looks awesome. Can’t wait to see the motor on it!

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

Any day now

[@fishinwithpippin2381]

Turned out awesome man! look forward to seeing it in the water.

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

Thanks bud. Sitting by the phone waiting on the call to pick up the motor

[@j.krishardy7065]

Looks great Kyle. Can't wait to get an invite to fish on that beast.

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

We will go tear up some triple tail for sure

[@cstheday1]

After I built my Flats Stalker 18- I told myself I'd rather work two jobs than have to orbital sand again. The second job would be to buy a boat that's finished!

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

It was the majority of the work for sure

Great!

So ive watched the whole series of this boat build, and im about to do a few things to my boat, biggest being a tiller to center console swap, i know you mentioned the smaller 9" wheel you had to order for yours but i cant seem to find anything similar, have a small console with a grab bar so i want the steering wheel you used to save space on the top of the console. A link or company name would be helpful, thanks alot and really enjoyed watching the build

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

You have to call Roses Marine in Gloucester MA. They’ll take your info on the phone and ship it to you. 877-283-3334

@@LightningCapitalLiving rhank you

[@roblescurbappealconcrete]

Why can’t you just paint the whole transom from corner to corner, then you would have that spot. Enjoyed watching the build, you really pushed through it. Thanks again.

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

I’m ordering some more paint so I can just put an entire coat on the transom. That’s what I should have done from the start instead of trying to blend it in. It’s really only 4oz of paint to do the whole thing

[@leebriand5305]

How did the Alexseal primer and paint work while going over Total Boatworks Fairing Compound

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

Perfectly. It’s been 9 months and no issues

[@leebriand5305]

Did you use totalflair as ur fairing puddy prior to using Alexseal…:Also what’s the name of the blue color u used inside ur deck…Thanks

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

I did use total fair. The color on the hull and inside is ice blue. Same color as our seavee

[@neaptidevlog3732]

Hey man, what colour Alexseal blue is that inside the skiff mate?. And by the way what a awesome job you have done man... Regards Tom.

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

Hey Tom - this is Ice blue. Thank you very much

[@hudsondd4969]

Great Job... beautiful skiff. What is the brand and model of your console door ? I have the same one on my skiff but the slide in door was missing when I bought the boat. Thanks

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

I bought it from ocean breeze marine accessories

[@hudsondd4969]

Thanks@@LightningCapitalLiving

[@jeromedegannes4653]

Wet sanding with soapy water will stop gummy sanding discs

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

That’s a great tip. Had no idea
