315 I'm not going to give you anymore sh$1. You can lay down some paint (not my style) but you can paint very well. I also agree with Sick Stinger that you are about to get into the most time consuming and expensive part of the rebuild (the rigging of the boat). I have been working on the rigging on my boat now for many months and I only have a little 24/7 single. Don't burn yourself out on deadlines, I did that a few weeks ago trying to get the boat done by Memorial Day. I finally realized Its just a toy and when it gets done is when it gets done.

Any updates?

4 months.... I thought this was a easy restore and flip? Sorry I know some of you have in and kiss his ass for being hungry to show his work... But the people that said it was gonna be more then 10,000.00 and more then a month or so like he said on FB shows we are right.... Still not done.... That's all I'm saying...

Yup. The hull sides are done and wet sanded. Decks done and wet sanded. Need to spray the bottom and cockpit then put back together. Took next week off and trying to get it on the water for the 4th. I never said i would do it in a month. I did say that with a whole crew it could have been done in a month but my hands are the only hands on this boat that's why it's longer. And I work 2 jobs. So I do the boat from 6pm - 3am then work 8-5 5 days a week. I'll post a photo later I don't know how to do it on my phone

The boats apart, no motors in, no interior and your shooting for the 4th? Not going to happen give up now. You'll need some fitting here or some other piece there and you better get ready to start overnighting parts left and right. Been there done that with deadlines on my single 28 and there's always something that puts you back and needs to be ordered.

I won't make the 4th and the motors are in running and alrwady water tested. Stuff comes up. Summit just screwed my order up son my weekend is shot until Tuesday now. Your optimistic and your really the only one working on the boat good luck with getting the motors in. Dropping them down then pushing them back on the trans mounts along with putting the bolts in is almost impossible. I bought every nut bolt screw washer ect brand new marked in a bag exacally what it was for and I still chased parts hardware and stupid crap for 2 months after it was put togeyer. If you get that in the water befor Labor Day that would be good. Your over zealous that week you took out is not a big deal.

Yup thats spot on. Good resource, you'd be surprised how much stuff you can find on amazon with prime shipping. I was ordering things left and right and paying the $4 to overnight so Jamie could get my boat on the water. We were shooting for end of April, and I didnt get a good day on the water till Memorial day and there was still things left to do. End of June and I think now I pretty much have all the bugs worked out and am playing with prop testing. Just swapped out the junk MSD box the other day

Trying to see if this will work. Trying it on my phone. And you guys are probably right. But were gunna see. We pulled the motors in 2 hours so I can't imagine it will take all that long. And no my hands were the only hands doing the work. But I have buddies and boater guys local that help me with moving **** like the hatch and motors and stuff. It's supposed to be ungodly hot so we'll see what happens. Only the dash left to paint. Ending up not redoing the gauges just for times sake. I'll let the new owner design the dash and I'll do it how he wants or let him run it. Hopefully the photos work.

Don't half azz chit, if you are going to do it, do it all. If you want to make a name for yourself you need to do a complete product. Your trying to do something you can stand on and show what you can do. You need to be in 110%, you have a potential buyer, that's it, there is no time limit. Now is the time to go the extra mile not cut corners.

I used to make high end custom ATV suspension. THe first custom swingarm I made, i took a bath on. Told the guy upfront it was the first on I made 100% from scratch and if there were any issues I would back it %200. I drove 400 miles to install it and dial it in for the guy also sold it to him at a considerable discount, 10 years later that swingarm was resold used for 3x what I charged the guy to build it and for more than other aftermarket swingarms were selling for. All based on my name and reputation, because I took the time to make my name synonymous with quality and my reputation unquestionable.

Do it right the first time, knowck it out of the park by going above and beyond. That will get you your second job, and if your lucky you may break even on that one and you skill set will improve.By the time your on your 5th or 6th you will have developed the tips and tricks to make it faster and easier and you will start making a few bucks. Phuck up or cut corners anywhere on those first few it will bite you in the azz and haunt you.

What he said is good advice. When I first started my air brush work I pretty much gave a few jobs away here and there.

After a while I could pick what I wanted to do.
