Laugh if you will, but I have a huge HTM 3 fender that I keep under the rear seat just for rafting .................... in a trash bag! A new trash bag mind you, just to keep that mega-buck black Polyform Elite cover nice and clean.

Scruffy fenders and a black boat =

Why the need for fenders? You got rub rails...use them.

Default Back on topic....

I decided to have my 2002 47 completely repainted at TimNorris.com.

Tim is big with NASCAR in Carolina as well as many other exotics stuff.

Boat was blue with 12' FOUNTAIN lettered on the side in gold. I had to take it off and start with some simple graphics with my logo. Sides are done and top deck is currently being prepped for base /clear white with graphics down the center. also transom will be done.
Hope to get it back later in the month. It has been there since Thanksgiving. Glad we started early.

Thanks to Back4More for resized pic. Arch was removed to fit in paint bay.
Ken

Suggestion #1: Just rig the fenders up with ropes and stock up on belts, then store the belts under the rear seat where they can't get into the engines!
No stoage under back seats they are all bolsters

Default 42 Lightning

We have pulled the engines on the 42 for rebuilds and upgrades to around 675 a side. Adding A/C, Gen and stereo system. LED lighting and underwater lighting, 5 blade Maximus, and a few other things. Its not getting warm fast enough!
