Looks good, are you gonna keep it the same color or gonna change it up?

**87starflite** · 02-21-2011, 06:20 PM

the hull is staying almost the same but idk what im doing with the deck yet, maybe all white with just the stripe down the middle or i might try to keep the blue down the sides, cant make up my mind

I dont know if anyone else feels this way but a day of boating with an all white deck makes me go snowblind but I guess there is always sunglasses

maybe i paint it to look like a progression, that would deffinately flip people out lol atleast it would be different

Got my gearcase back from Ronnie, this weekend and as usual his work looks awesome. Thanks Ronnie!

the hull and bottom are completely glazed up and good to go i think and only thing left on the top is a few small cracks, and sanding and glazing and the giant mess is ready for primer!

The case and boat looks great. Are you gonna keep the compass in the deck?
Bottom looks sharp, I like it

**87starflite** · 02-27-2011, 06:40 PM

yea i am keeping the compass, i wasnt going to at first but it grew on me, i bought a nice ritchie ss1000 with a blue dial to match the boat

Looks great weather was warm this weekend much better work environment
I would keep the classic shadow paint scheme(there's quite a few original pics for reference but you definitely see a pattern) maybe do a contrasting 1" pin stripe of a lighter blue
Up against the white deck
Are you keeping the teak I know it's a matinance issue but it so goes with the classic lines of these boats
Where are you going to spray it?

the only teague on the boat was the dash panel, which i still have but it was in ****ty shape and has extra holes in it now. my dash is only going to have the gauges and helm, no switches or key/killswitch. im trying to keep the classic look with a little updated/cleaned up look. i am thinking of keeping the blue where it was with a 1 inch or so white stripe and then the black outerstripe. im going to spray the boat in the tent! lol im jk

Rob at raybo is going to spray the boat for me, they do really nice work
