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

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!!

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.
