CLEAN! Which 35 model are you working on?

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

Mike,
It is a 99' model, MegaByte*3 was the original owner of the boat. Thanks for the compliments! :D

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

Very Nice! Looks and power.

I want to paint my bilge to restore that bright white, but pulling the motors to do it right means it ain't gettin done.:) Plus why dress up a plain jane 502 mpi show room.

What type of paint?

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

Looks great Lee..keep us posted on your progress.

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

We did that to our Hustler last year as well. Those motors look great in that bright white bilge!! Good job!!

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

Really sharp!!! - looks like meticulus workmanship

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

Looks very good. Youe friends do good work!

Re: My 35 Fountain project....

Josh you need to bring your boat here so some work will get done! :eek:

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

Here are a few, I am replacing the entire rubrail with the new style that has the stainless insert and the dash will be red, the padded rail around the race fairing will be red also.

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

Have you had a chance to run it yet?

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

Having a hard time deciding on grahics though, I have thought about keeping the signature graphics and changing the 1/2" black stripe to red or going with one of these, what do you guys think?

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

Net yet. :(

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

I really like the one in the 1st pic with the cover on. I dont know if a 1/2 in red line will give it enough red? Either way, you should probably save your money for all of the drives you will be popping! :eek:

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

Looks great. Keep up posted.:drink:

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

very nice

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

I agree with the first pic of the one with the cover on. Your boat looks awsome though.:evilb:

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

Outstanding! I like the 1st pic... those graphics would look sweet.

Re: My 35 Fountain project....
 

looks great, should run great also.

Well?... :chimp: :chick: :bunny: :mouse: :chimp:

How about the paint?

Not yet, still have to finish the fuel system and put the seats & dash back in, my paint guy keeps telling me next week every week! :(

looks awesome

what paint scheme did you decide on?

did you do any sanding in your bilge before you put on the bilgecoat??........it looks amazing

US1, I like the 1st pic with the cover on the best, but if my painter keeps putting me off then I will keep the signature graphics and figure out a way to bring some red into the scheme. As far as prep work for the bilge I used degreaser, brushes and rags followed by acetone, once the paint was applied it settled into a smooth shiny finish that is easy to clean.

looks very nice, I like it. Like both paint schemes too.

I should be getting the boat back from my painter today! For now we just painted the race fairing, touched up the existing graphics and fixed some chips and scratches in the gel. Now I still have to put the new dash panel in, dash pod with boost & fuel press. gauges, the interior sidepanels, bolster seats, the new vinyl pad on the fairing, new rubrail, new thru hull fittings, power steering fluid, drive oil, exhaust tips and probably a few more things.....its gonna be a long weekend! Good thing I am taking Friday off!

Man, that's a lot of work. But, it looks OUTSTANDING!

Hey Indy how many coats did you put down in the bilge? Also how much paint did you use? I am about to do the same with my bilge and I don't want to get come up short. Thanks bro.

Chuck

Chuck,
I did 2-3 coats depending on the area and it took 2 quarts to do the job. Bad news for me.......my painter is not getting my boat back to me until next week! :mad:

Thanks for the info Indy.... You need to go lite a fire under that painters ass!!!! :evilb: Good luck bro... I am looking forward to the finished product. You have an awesome boat and you do very good work on it.
Take care,
Chuck

Finally got my dash and interior back together this weekend...the rubrail is next! Should be fun..:rolleyes:
