Okay, as most of you know, I dropped the "silent thunder" box off Outlaw for the clean transom look. Got my new Stainless Marine tips from UPS the other day, their georgous.

My question is: My boat has palm beach graphics which I don't mind. However, the stripes kind of just curl around the corner of the transom and just die out. The silent thunder box hid that. Now that the box is off, it looks pretty stupid plus the "taped" lines are a little sloppy. You never saw that before, now it's out there for the whole world to see.

I've lightly sanded the back of the transom and it is now bright white. I gotta figure what to do with the way the stripes just curl around and end abruptly. I was kind of toying with the idea of masking off in the basic configuration of where the box originally was, and spraying it teal. From the bottom up under the rub rail. The new tips would then be exiting through teal. So the transom would be two tone, teal and white.

But I honestly have no idea what to do. Would like some suggestions. Of those Formula owners who do not have the silent thunder, how is your transom done? Thanks. Russ

Can you post a pic of what it looks like now?

I've been thinking about the same thing on the 20 I'm painting. I may do it somewhat like my 302. They kill the stripes with a solid color then carry it around the transom.

I'll try but will need help here. When I download off the camera's memory stick, it is too large to then upload to OSO. How do I downsize the picture so it will upload to OSO? Remember I'm just getting acquainted with this picture thing. I'll try posting a picture tomorrow, if I can't get it, I'll ship it to you via email and then you can put it on OSO like we did before. I really gotta get this post pix on OSO thing down. But like I said I gotta figure out how to downsize once I've got it stored. What's the OSO size limits? Thanks.

Russ you need software to resize the pic ....Paint .... acDsee ...one of those ..there are some free ones out there ...or DL acDsee ..I have a key gen for it ...or email me the pic and I can resize it .... oh.... splashed " Bad News" friday ...still got the box off .....sounds wicked ...should finish it up tomorrow or Tuesday ...

Cuda does the thinking...Deb does the work.

My new computer is supposed to have a program in it to do all that. It's just the computer is so much smarter than me.

Good news about "Bad News". Outlaw is getting very very close. The exhaust spacers should be done by midweek and then it's just putting it back together.

So it sounded good with the box off huh???? HMMMMMMMM........

Russ, send the pics to me.

Will send some tomorrow early evening. Thanks.
