Good Lord willing and the paint dries should be good to go. Bottom is double covered heat bonded together. I'd always admired the hammertone gray on your trailer, it's a good high solids paint but dries slowly, probably also a good thing.

Think I'll strap a bilge pump along keel web and leave out one of containers so I can see the bilge and hope its an unnecesary precaution. I've got 2 homebrew bent shaft paddles that are probably a little too short but will give us a break from double blading.
