Mine was in the shop a month to sand off the old graphics, block and refinsh the sides, and paint it. We didn't do the transom, so didn't have to remove the engines/drives/gibles etc.

Rod took only 3 weeks, but inbetween painting Excess Wetness, he was also working on an MTI for Miami. This was from start of graphics to finish, extremely easy people to deal with, did everything they promised and more, it was a refreshing experience in the boating profession

Thanks Payton, I needed another color, and didnt want red or orange cause it was on Radio Active, wanted something different, unique. All the colors are from the House Of Colors, Pearl Mettalics, except the Copper base, which is custom blended, and I believe is sprayed over silver, in the sun it really takes a different look, and the mettallic and water droplets that are into the name "Xcess Wetness" can be seen, but not to much mettalic so it wouldnt look like one of those Ranger fishin boats. Rod even left alot of touch up paint for me for stone chips, Pro Body Works is a great co. Jeff
