teaser
 
heres a teaser for you guys ;)
got the boat into the new shop today finally, and signed a year lease so i wont need to move again.. was a PITA cause the ground is soaked from all the snow melt and has to swing her around 2 snow banks. Got her in and getting working on it this week. Interior is going out soon to LOTO to a guy a friend hooked me up with. Heres the cockpit layout. White on the seats will be a white carbon fiber looking material, and red cross stitching will with be a suede material. Going to square up the bolsters a little too. paint is combination between the last two boats. paint on cockpit is going have alot of air brushing and white gauges. new stearing wheel and painted controls. Painted red or white drives and trim tabs. going through the drives next week. Only have found 2 small stress cracks on the boat! some blistering on the bottom i didnt notice at first, but it was warm and inside today so i could finally really look it over. trailers getting cut up into a gooseneck as well.

Are you going to flip it? If so I think the gooseneck will limit you.

Food for thought. I'd check around that area for a reputable shop. There's some big name options out there that I would consider using for a project like this. They're reputable for a reason. When I hear someone say they have a buddy that knows "a guy" that makes me nervous.

Take a look at my Bullet thread. That shop is one of the best options in that area. I'm sure there's a couple more too.

It sounds like you plan to flip this boat. I understand that to make a profit of any kind you have to watch your pennies. I also know that cutting corners will adversely affect the sale price too.

That's my $.02 worth. You can keep the change. ;)
