The boat now is white!  We put high build primer on the bottom and sides and are very happy with how it is turning out.  We also put another layer of 6 oz. fiberglass cloth on the transom and more coats of resin.  We used 6 oz cloth because we want to be able to see the wood on the transom.
The boat didn't stay white for long, because now comes the finish sanding, finding all the high and low spots and leveling them.  More sanding and more sanding, but we are happy with the progress and looking forward to the next job, paint on the bottom.  The shop is a mess with so much sanding dust on everything, so after this sanding of the primer, we will try to get stuff out of the shop and blow everything off.  We need to do this before we paint and then turn the boat over.  We are still trying to figure out our technique for turning it over, but we are getting closer to figuring it out.
