I think your tackling the hardest part yourself, might as well just finish it. Patience and planning ahead it's not that difficult. Well after you read all of Dave's threads 3 times and call him 5 times lol

Found out the transom on my new formula is wet. I was talking to a friend about how many boats are soft and they dont even know it. I have done one before, and am doing my formula this week. Its really not that bad.

I figured they do this all time and I can save some money doing the dirty work. They are getting the boat to do some of the body work and the paint plus they warranty their work.

That's cool, just make sure they lay it up properly. I've had a few glass guys around here fix a go fast as of it were a sea ray or pro-line. So I ended up doing it myself anyway. Oh joy.... Speaking of poor quality, reminds me I need to finish a formula stringer job today,

Whoa Ryan posting pics of a project!?
You paint that back blue the boat is gonna look shorter, don`t say I didn`t tell you.
Good Luck, looks like your`e making some good headway. I`m just glad thats ONE thing that I don`t need to do since it was brand new when I got the boat.
You should have Nabbers make those pickup channels like he did for Tick Tack I bet it`s worth a mile or two
