Just wondering for my XL... I want the Front and Rear Capped...

It would probably be better to have Todd do it when he makes it.

I figured it was time consuming job, just didn't know how it would look being a shoe box hull?

We have capped a lot of the fiberglass race boats that were shoe boxed and done a lot of butt fit boats like Skaters, Motions, Spectre's. The butt fit are time consuming,but the shoe box is a ton of time. Here are pictures of an F1 we did last year.

This is as fancy as my paint jobs get. You want anything more you have to go to Randy.

Randy
No posts in almost a week. Any new photos for us to drool over?
Thanks
Gary

Well, the difference between the fresh paint and sanded and buffed paint is hard to see in pics, so I didn't take any. I did the final buff today and buffed out the dash and console. I will put it back on the trailer tomorrow and post more pics then.

**WILDMAN** · 03-04-2016, 04:55 PM

I already have all the rigging and motor for the boat. I just waxed it and got it on the trailer today. More pics and a video tonight when I get home!
