I have two new sets of vent covers for the 25 Outlaw if anyone wants them. I paid $75.00 per pair and will sell them at the same price.

These are still sealed and have never been installed on a boat.

Sent you an email Mark

Don't blast them it will take for ever to get them back to a polished state. Get them chemically stripped they will be a lot better for polishing. That what I did with the swim platforms this year. Fresh new coat of candy purple. Dock's favorite color, I know he's going to like that color on his boat also.

Thanks for the tip Jeff. Do you think it would be a good idea once I get them polished to have them clear anodized?

Dear Mr. Steel Outlawed,

Having known you now for many years I have found you to be very close to a perfectionist and I have never known you to have a screw up.

However when you deliver my swim platform up next week and it has the slightest spot of PURPLE on it I will call you the world's "BIGGEST SCREWUP".

Thank you and have a very nice day.

Your friend

Dock

You would definitely need top clear coat it either with powder or paint. If not it would be a nightmare to keep clean.

I guess I had better get it back to the powder coater then. Only problem is they are backed up now it might be August before I get it back. In the mean time you can use mine.

I just received the concept pictures of Dock's new swim platform.

I think the purple is a nice touch Mark although it is probably not the direction I would have done.

My project,

New transom, stringers, and bulkhead, bought it knowing it needed it, so I had the whole thing redone. Transom was ROTTED!

Very good work, if anyone needs any work in northern Ohio use this guy, Kevin Brown, 419-426-6875 he was great to deal with!

Kinda looks like the garage is giving birth to the boat.....I like it.
:-)

I figured if I posted a "winter project" here somebody would drive down here and kick my as$.

Projects look good.
