Damn that thing is sexy!

I have never been a fan of color matched hoods but some slight color accents to match the boat on this one may work.

You just had to mention the hatch.

I am building Randy a new hatch with no vents and a 1/4" narrower all the way around. So he is waiting on me patiently.

I have told Caldwell I will take some to stock for new boats.

The more I look at your paint job Randy the more I love it. Very cool. At first it seemed complicated but it fits the boat to a T. That is going to be the most bad ass Screaming Eagle Talon 22 every put on the water. Man I wish I was rich, I would have already given you a deposit! I gotta make some money and get an XL from Todd and get you to put the engine and drive out of my Cougar in one of those. I really like the Cougar, but I LOVE the lines of the Talon and I think your paint job really accents it's shape. You are amazing dude!!!

I would like to dream about an XL with one of these on its tail...

I hope some folks who know little to nothing about what it takes to design, prep, paint and then rig a hull are watching this thread. Not only is Randy showing how it’s done, he’s also showing how long it takes to actually do it. And if anybody’s noticed, it takes a lot of time.

Oh, and just in case anybody’s wondering why high quality paint and rigging work costs a small fortune, your answer is also in this thread.

Nice work Randy! I stand in awe.
