The "Murder Hornet" Liberator!

Randy might add more photos of this crazy Liberator that he just finished, but I thought you'd all like a quick look. He named it the "Murder Hornet"

We settlers up here in Blaine Washington do not think the name "Murder Hornet" is very funny.......

The orange / blue "flames" clash with the yellow. Would have been better in plain black? Random blobs of black would have made a better "insect"? If the graphics were done in vinyl, I'd fire up the hair dryer and do a re-wrap. Pretty easy to do.

I'm pretty sure Randy does all his art in paint.

Tough crowd, can't please everyone, someone will buy it and love it.
I think that is silver(not blue) in the flames so that it matches the interior silver.

And it’s the same as what’s painted on the dash, my dad always told me if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all . Randy puts a chit ton of time and love in these boats and shows big time , way to go wild man looks killer!

And while some may not like the name, others think those bad azz Monster Hornet's are pretty cool. However I would not hesitate to kill the nest of them if they showed up in my backyard.

One thing about Randy is that he uses paint only, no vinyls. I am going to post the entire build photos tomorrow.

It doesn't really matter that some people don't like it. I can understand that. I just like LOUD colors. It's all freehand taping and paint. No vinyl or templates. It's my personal boat anyway. Not for sale. One of my customers came up with the name due to the colors. Here's a "Murder Hornet" pic and a pic from my first run last weekend.
