So the first job has been to cut off the hundreds of plastic nails sticking out on the inside. This was reasonably easily achieved with the oscillating saw. Then a quick sand and it was ready for sealing. I have done two coats of the penetrating epoxy. The inside is not perfect by any stretch but a coat of paint and it will be reasonable. Very little of the hull will be visible once the internal fitout is complete.
So last weekend I rounded up about 15 people (mostly fire brigade) and we carried the boat out of the garage to the front lawn, then flipped it over and put it back in the garage on its newly made cradle. In the end it was quick, simple and went very smoothly.

Been slack again. I didnt post any pictures if the bottom painting process. In the end I put three coats of two pot paint on. By the last coat I had almost got the hang of the roll and tip method. It doesn't look to bad but I think had I done another coat it would have looked near on perfect.
I have also built a trolley to sit it on after the flip.
