Hey guys,

just finally got the boat all settled at home and I'm digging in, I'm going to be ordering my coosa 26 for the transom and floors shortly, after I dig the wood out.

I decided that I'm going to go with a late 80s merc v6 200hp with a old school cowl, going with seastar hyrdo steering and a bobs jackplate and nose I think, probably use a smaller battery, maybe a motorcycle battery? Kinda curious about the extra weight of the 200hp engine.

So I'm looking at having someone else shoot the gel, I don't mind doing the grunt work, but I don't trust my pinstriping skills that much ;)

Got to move some stuff around to make some more space
405170

Paint wise I want to go with something like, but with a little pearl
405171



So the questions.

Anyone have a recommendation for someone to shoot the gel, and also a upholstery guy or gal to redo the original seats around the VT, ON, NY or Quebec areas?

What's a fair price if I do the initial prep and the smoothing out after spraying?

Also does anyone have any info on these guys, said they could build me up the engine, all freshly overhauled
