New Picture showing progress...

Just added a new picture to my photo album showing the interior 1/2 primed and about ready for paint.  On the interior I am going to use a good grade of exterior gloss house paint to save money.  I have been told by many people that they have used general house paints in their boats with no undue problems like peeling etc.
 
I will still be using marine paint on the exterior hull.  I have a friend who runs a lumber yard and will see if I can get a good price on some clear pine for the decking and seats.  Otherwise I may have to settle for "better" grade pine from the local yards.  this shoestring budget thing is for the birds...
