yup.. cause a family friend is going to throw me 60g for a destroyed boat... and buy a boat thats not even in paint yet... does that even make sense? lol

He wants to buy it done right? So what's wrong with buying the boat and paying you for your services now? Lots of people buy boats and contract restorations right away. But you know it all good luck with your business venture.

maybe im missing something... who in the right mind would spend 60k on a trs small powered (freshly sandblasted not fresh rebuilt) cafe when they can buy rebarbox's big power speedmaster (with a spare set) fresh paint pristine boat for the same money... if its a close family friend DO NOT let him know what OSO is cus he wont be a family friend when he finds out whats out there for 60k just sayin

basically what I thought..... AND..... if I had someone actually buy everything they said they would from me, I would be rich!!!! talk is cheap... cash talks...

Not to mention with that power it's only going to run 55 mph with 420's.

62-63.....

I'll be nice and say 60 .... Been in a bunch ..:lolhit:

If they were new, tight 420's, and actually made the HP. TRS were setup perfect and good props. I'd say 61 low on fuel.

Rebarbox's Cafe is nice for the coin and it has been for sale awhile. I think it will sell this spring

Well.... I own a TRS Mistress (a little heavier) and when it had 420's it went 63 gps with 23mirage... So the cafe will easily go 60+ unless engines are junk... I don't say because I been on them.... I say because I own one... Now runs 74 with 600 hp

guessing we all came to the same thought. Mine went for we will call it 40k with fresh 540s and paint stripped down to the bare hull and deck.
I also had a prior boat painted with a similar PPG system you speak of. The clear is t hard enought tic will scratch instantly when a fender hits it. Going with " better deal on paint" might as well use the money as kindling and burn it. You need awl grip clear or equal to.
Bottom line it isn't worth 60, the clear is wrong, interior your cheap ing out on, you seem a bit over zealous on this build, side not love the a rendering of the paint sceme with what looks to be #6 hanging off the back.
