[Electric Boats] Re: finally finished

 

Thanks, Colin. I welded up the frame from bits of steel that were kicking around after building the boat, then blasted it, slapped on two coats of "Zinga", let it dry, then dunked the whole frame in a tank of fresh water for a couple days. Made the zinc adhere really well. Then painted with an enamel. It was mostly experimental and I'll make up a new frame later, perhaps from aluminum or stainless. We'll see.
