Well got the holes epoxied over yesterday. Heading down in a bit to sand them smooth, hit them with one more coat of epoxy to make sure they are back smooth with the sides. Hoping to have the sides primererd by early week. Going to use keystone 3 in 1. Have had great results with it, a ton of guys seem to love the stuff. Also using WEST SYSTEMS SIX 10 to fill the holes. This stuff works really well, is easy to use.

Sweet ride!! Can't wait to see it done! I agree with you I also like the older boats with sharp lines and angles. Not a fan of most new boats with all the curves now, there just don't look as mean and powerful.

Thanks man. Headed over now to get a little more done on it.The little holes actually look deeper than the really are.Mainly looks like that from the different layers of paint and primers. Hope to get some primer on it this week.

i think this boat was from md owned new by a car guy with good size power then sold to a local builder that put i think 1000 and # 5s then bout was a trade in on a cat minus drives and power they converted boat to a bravo boat and 500hp and sold local then not sure where it went after that boat was a nice boat

You are correct. That is the same history I got on it, yes I am in MD, boat was from here. The name of the boat use to be ''FAST COMPANY", guy offed this, for a skater if I recall. It is nice to know that the story is legit. I was told the boat ran in the 80's with the bravo's and the 500's. I believe the bottom, transom, stringers were redone at Lilly's but not positive but the bottom and stringers were done.

Well got a little more done today. Managed to get the stress cracks sanded and V'd out. It stressed rite at the front bulkhead. Going to mix up some epoxy, mix a little matting in with it, fill in the area. Hopefully it stays put and doesn't crack again. Headed to get some primer in the am, possibly give er a coat by the end of the week.
