I have a call into Konrad- I'm going to do all the transom hardware in the matching color. Tabs, exhaust rings, water dumps, etc.

The metallic particles are really big. I have a local guy who's done paint matching for me before- he does it entirely by eye and experience. I've yet to see him miss. I'm hoping I hear from Konrad that it's powder- that would make it just that much easier.

Great thread Chris,

As for the drive paint, yes it's power coat.

Keep the pics coming!

Kurt

Konrad is shipping the powder today. :)

Cool stuff Chris.

I can see why you were getting a chubby just over the drive reservoir - that does look awesome.
Keep the pics coming!

Reservoirs look like Revoltions, way cool.

I believe they are.

OK - need to get it done by June??? Why by June?
Is there a plan?? Or a need to get it done by then??
Are you planning on Charlie's race/run to Bimini??
I've been thinking about it myself in my boat. Not sure I can get everything together in time.
If you need a man in the boat to make the run, I volunteer for navigator/ballast.

Sweet thread, keep us posted on your progress. I know your pain, been there done that.

No way would I run a newly-rigged boat to Bimini- especially one with a small tank on it like this one.

June is just when it's nice enough to go boating around here. I'm a fair-weather boater. I'd rather just not go if it's cool or rainy.

If i had the time and the $$, I'd buy that tin Cougar 46 at LCM and stick a set of 1200's in it. That would be the ticket for that run. It would be neat to come in first in an old dinosaur like that.
