My schedule is mine, again, and I am back to being able to do what I want. That puts me in the shop, but nothing to show as yet, so here's an oldie. This is 110 number 496, back last summer, getting some of its detailing applied.
This boat needed to be at the Nationals in a couple of days, so when it came time to put on the waterline, I was aiming for straight, simple, and quick. I got a decent laser, marked bow and stern targets, and used the chain falls to hang the boat in the proper plane. I tapped in some wedges at the chines to keep the boat from rocking during application, and used a roll of wide black auto pinstriping as the line itself.
I purposely put the waterline a little high of where the boat actually sits in the water, and it came out fine.
