How did the color sanding turn out? What kind of $$$ did they charge you?

The other bent the hinges.
Called Formula they had me contact mfgr direct...these hatches list for $600 each!!! Fortunatly they had one in "over stock" for $160!! Hinges are $30 ea. and arm asssbly $40
The moral of the story is ...BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES!!!

Maybe the Cig bros were trying to sabatoge you Formula guys..
The boat looked good all white Kevin. I didn't recognize it at first.

It's really not hard to do, just don't start out with too heavy of a sandpaper.
I'm seriously considering doing that to Outlaw......
The hard part is making everything match, colorwise, after you've sanded the color off. It's BRIGHT white under there and of course the white on the boat is duller. So you have to end up sanding the entire boat.
Again, the whole key is TAKING IT NICE AND EASY.....
