As long as it isn't on the deck!!!!!:eek:

Boat looks awesome!! I love the classic paint!! Coming along very nicely!! And, I can sympathize on the cost and time of the rebuild. Did my Formula 311 back in 2003 and it FAR exceeded what I had budgeted. But, once it's complete and on the water, you'll forget about the cost and time overruns!! :drink:

Looks great be patient it looks like it's worth all the time. This is why I tell everyone to buy one done vs. doing one themselves. Trust me I know.

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

I can guarantee, this will be the last time I go down this road again!

My problem is, I'm a perfectionist, so naturally everything needs to be perfect. And of course, perfection costs a lot of MONEY!!!!

Well, at the very least, I do have some satisifaction in knowing that I'm not the only one. :)

Looking great! I am doing a Cafe for a customer now (since October) and there are a lot of unforseen repairs and upgrades that continue to be added. The great thing is that, when it is finished, it is a boat that reflects the customers unique tastes.

This is the boat at FastBoats (or was), correct? I saw it when I was there last Thanksgiving. Looking real good! Paint is very classy. How long did it take to get the hull that straight?

Let's see some pics. I love that all these Cafe's are coming back to life. I know that I am biased but I have always loved the lines of the Cafe.

Yep, that''s the one. It's still there. Been there since July! :(

Rossy easily worked on the hull for two weeks, maybe three.
