Get rid of that Heineken and drive with both hands you wont get tossed out

lol lol good one mike

got the top deck and hull sides primed tonight and we will prime the bottom tomorrow night after we unload it off the trailer.

Tunaboy- yes those bases do recline back, they are actually popped off the bottom of a 21 superboat seat. they have a slight tilt which puts you at a pretty comfortable angle and they are much lower than the factory pedestals. i didnt like how high those pedastals were and they also weighh a ton. probably cut a good 50-60 lbs easily by dropping those pedestals..

Don't know about you but I always get anxious as the primer goes on any of my projects. I get a lot of I should have spent a little more time on this or that and forget about the pin holes that you were shure you filled

Looks great E, its in great hands at Raybo's

**87starflite** · 04-09-2011, 07:44 PM

The boat is completely primed

Theres a few spots here or there i could have spent more time on and some spots i missed even though i checked things 20 times but its in primer now and it looks pretty good. little glazing but shouldnt be too terrible. time to decide on some colors now

**tunaboy** · 04-09-2011, 08:01 PM

Wow boat looks awesome! And i take it Raybo's is the place to go he's got a sweet shop and looks like he does real nice work

Cant wait to see the colors.

**racerx** · 04-09-2011, 08:15 PM

Lots of work there,but its all down hill from there(Ya Think}hope ya choose the right color on that one..

**87starflite** · 04-09-2011, 08:37 PM

Yes Raybo is deffinately the place to go! Rob is meticulous and him and his crew do very nice work! He is down to earth and a nice guy and always goes above and beyond to ensure that his customers are satisfied, especially on big resto jobs and paint work.

It is definately down hill from here, still a lot of work left but its all failrly simple , the worst is over

I have been thinking about this the last few days
I feel the original look is too boring, would rather keep it old school looking but with enough of a touch that it will not be out of style 10 years from now but still be just a bit more modern today. The whole picture needs to be taken into consideration, no use picking colors that you cant match up some upholstery and canvas.

its almost 1am and I am thinking about this still........ its going to sound funny but sometimes it comes to you at the oddest time, sometimes in the shower a idea comes to mind, lol

i was thinking about it last night, i want to keep the blue a black stripe theme going , i have black carbon fiber gauges and was originally planning on accenting with small amount of black here and there but if you want to change the white to something or the stripe layout lets do it. my two canvas covers and upholstery are blue and blue is my favorite color so i would like to stick with the blue. i originally wasnt going to do a metallic because i didnt want you to have to clear it and spray another day but maybe we shoot a nice metallic blue if its not a pain in the ass since you wanted to clear it anyway. ford vista blue and that new hyundai genesis blue look really sharp. Last night i was thinking one of those blues and changing the deck to a grayor off white like we had talked about

**racerx** · 04-10-2011, 06:53 AM

Black and silver would look great on that boat

**87starflite** · 04-10-2011, 11:12 AM

black and siler would be nice but this boat is too rough to hav any large amount of black on it. the boat is very wavy and everything will stick riht out, my checkmate was black and that thing was so hot u couldnt even touch it in the sun. i have been thinking all morning and i think im going to stick to my original plan, white, blue, and either a black or silver stripe
