First cleaned up the stripes with acetone to remove any paint/wax from them. Threw a quick coat a wax on the hull.
Next masked off the keel joint with masking tape and filled the gap with Sikaflex 15LM.
The VC17 will oxidize to the same colour as this flexible sealant. Most imporantly, will NOT crack when the keel flexes.
Next mounted the rudder, and hooked up the gas line, as well as hung some lines off the bow and stern for launching.
I gathered up all the tools, wood, and garbage out from under and around the boat.
Walter delivered my motor and we took if off the back of the pickup right onto the mount.
