Not sure why the 1st pic is turned? It is not that way when I load it.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

A customer brought me a '98 20' Stratos basser w/a 200 looper for a freshening up.
Boat is getting new carpet (including all TEN hatches!) and buffed.
Motor is getting painted and new graphics. Later I am installing 225 hp carb's and 2.7 heads so I got him "225 HO" graphics.
Probably add a jack plate/set back too.
Customer took really good care of boat and makes it a fun project.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

Looks good. I like shooting that color just built a pair of 300s for a guy that wanted them that color. Did full color change cowl to propshaft they look great. The only thing I dont like is the new 2015 decals were $690.00

PS That 57 35hp will be delivered next month

Let me know where to send your favorite bottle.
And agreed. Most people are afraid to change color/graphics.
I told my customer that that cowling style went from '93 to '2000 so google it, find something you like and we'll make it work.
When I bought the new 250's for my first Sonic in '99, they were gun metal gray which I didn't like. I painted them white them striped them to match the graphics on the hull.
They looked great.Last edited by Instigator; 03-11-2016 at 08:20 PM.

Waiting on graphics for the motor (coming from Canada) and an impeller.
This is what 30' of carpet and a gallon of glue looks like.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

Xylene.
Similar to acetone. Not quite as strong but does not evaporate nearly as fast.
Pull up all you can then start soaking residual glue/carpet w/the xylene.
I use a paint brush to spread it then let soak.
I work ahead while it soaks then return w/a putty knife.
It pretty well sucks.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
