Well I did tell Mark I was pulling my boat out of the garage. I don't know, the problem with the boat is, if I ever took it to an event, I wouldn't really be able to shoot photos. That's really what began my habit of non-use. Well, it really started with the fact that I was almost always with Helmut in the STV, so I never had any need to bring a boat. And from there it just developed into a routine. Some people might think I set out from the outset to just rig it and never use it but I did actually use it a few times - three in total. The last time I used it was at Alva here on the river, to shoot photos of Andy Frost's STV. I can't believe how long ago that was.

Get that thing out and polished up! I'll grab some of my camera crazy buddies to shoot photos of u for once!

That STV is going to look HOT! Love the layout! She will pop in the sun for sure!

You worry about this stuff too much , take the boat out and get it wet at some of these events and you will get just as many photos and have fun . Don't wait till tomorrow as tomorrow may never come . Just do it !!!!!

Greg you better get some seat time before you tow it to an event. We cant have the owner of SF washing rub rails cause hes a little rusty

[Bodhi]

Looks great, Randy you sure have a talent for complementing the lines with colors.

I had to restrain Randy to go with my layout. He did sway me a little bit to add some things and make the black outline thicker but I am very happy with the way it came out. Picture 4 and 5 are the look that I was after. Thanks for the compliments from everyone and thank you again Randy for messing with the old junk that I seem to accumulate.

The tape and paper that he used filled up 3 1/2 trash cans. I think he has around 45 hours in to it at this point and about two of that was spraying. A ton of time to lay out with layers of tape and he makes it look as easy as walking-needless to say "he has done it a few times before".
