No, I have messaged everyone with no response to date...ugh!

Well, I have tried many times reaching out to the people running this Forum for assistance and have had absolutely no response to why I can not post pics, the worse customer service of any forum I have ever had to date and I have been on many various Forums.

Is this how this Forum operates...ugh and errr!!!

Well it's really just a sub category of the offshore only forum. Maybe I can help. Are you trying to embed an image in your post or attach it with the post? Are you using a pc or smart phone?

I personally am using an android based phone. When I reply to a post I simply select the 2nd icon in the 2nd line. It is a small box with a circle in the top left corner and 2 triangles in the bottom. It is between a smiley face and the text to left icon.

Generally speaking I have no issues.

After you select the picture, you still have to "upload" it by clicking the button on the top right (I think) of the page.

How hard was this (or did you sub it out)? Let's see the results. :-)

The previous owner took it off. Its just a few bolts and then you can add the nice stainless steel exhaust tips. The biggest cost are the stainless steel exhaust tips, so I am told.

Had the Boat Survey done Friday and other than a couple minor things (port side hull light out, auto bilge pump not working) all is great he said the boat is in great shape and was a good purchase. So now its off to detail and getting these things fixed and off we are to the water.

Hope all is well for all of you!

FormulaDog 05-13-2020 12:30 PM

UPDATE:

So Collins is detailing the boat and fixing a few minor things that cam up on the survey (blown out hull light, fixing auto bilge pump, etc) and it looks great. One thing I did not know is that I am getting two brand new Bravo I 28P props. Why, when it was for sale up front near the road some SOB stole both props the weekend of the Buffalo Poker Run. LOL, I thought they took them off so no one would steal them. I just found this out yesterday.

I will say Collins Marine has been top shelf to work with so long and I am very impressed plus I am very fussy and a stickler to detail. Now we just need some nice weather.

Does anyone know the Imron Paint Code and/ Reference Number for the 99 Fastech Key Largo Paint scheme on my boat?

The Three paints I need are:

Sea Teal
Eclipse Blue
Directional yellow

Any assistance would be appreciated. I am looking to get some mixed to fix a few small scratches.

Thanks.

Tim312 05-20-2020 10:17 AM

Call Formula!

FormulaDog 05-21-2020 02:49 PM

Yes, I did that. They gave me a lot of info but unfortunately none of it is good enough to make sense at the local Imron shop or even when I called Imron directly...ugh!

ph1971 05-21-2020 03:49 PM

Those codes are meaningless to any paint shop at this point. You will have to tow your boat to the dealer and have them scan each color in several places. They can get you a perfect match these days. Good luck

Ugh, thats what I figured...thanks!

Here is a short video of us passing our friends only about 35-40 mph. Just getting used to here but what a nice ridding handling boat. I've been cleaning the crap out of her and have changed out the swim platform shower assembly, the boat navigation light, cleaned and detailed the engine compartment and waiting for new LED replacement cuddy lights to arrive and then we are done and its time to have fun.
