I have always used rattle cans and the results seem to be pretty good. I don't have a spray gun, so this is the main reason why. Rattle cans are inexpensive, easy to use, and the paint dries pretty fast too.
Tom, I don't have a towbar, but I may have some pins, and I know I have feet, but they are 3/4" feet for the CUCV series and the M37. Won't work with the deuce.
No, the hull is not on the bottom, there is at least 10 feet of draft underneath the keel, and she does bob in the water if a large boat comes by. Occasionally the boat has to be moved in or out, front to rear, to do work on the dive planes, and she can be moved by one man standing on a line...
Bill has the subject right, one of the goals is to start up the engines, but not engage the screws. Just to make her as operational as possible.

I know this won't be road legal, but in a pinch on smaller roads and offroad, perhaps you can put duals on the front, like troops in Europe did to the CCKWs during WWII?
I live next door to you in Front Royal, welcome to the site! Once you own a deuce, you're life is never the same. So buy the one I have listed in the classifieds. :)
You need to go the extra mile and mount an old beer keg as a fuel tank, like the hot rodders sometimes do. Might have to mount a few of them with as much fuel as the deuce goes through.
Ha ha, no that is in response to all the folks like gimpy et al who purposely come up with the weirdest in avatars. Since my theme has been Firefly for the last several years, every avatar showing Cpt. Mal Reynolds from the show, this new avatar in the last scene from the episode Trash where he...
