Our Ebbtide sporting her Epoxy primer. Getting closer . . . we are busy removing thru-hulls, grinding the keel, and doing other small welding jobs before finishing her paint and getting her back in the water.

Our Ebbtide 33, the hull sandblasted to bare metal on the port side. We purchased her last September and have been working to get her floating again. We estimate she's been on the hard for at least 5 years, left behind by her previous owner who passed away years ago. We fell in love with her lines, her gorgeous interior, her outboard rudder, and her potential.

Bare metal will be covered with an Ameron zinc primer, and then Ameron 235 Epoxy primer, with a topcoat yet-to-be-decided.
