Hey bull, who did the custom paint design on your lightning? By far the best looking paint scheme ive seen..

Bullhead,was on the phone Monday with Tony Cutsuries from Fountain.

He also told me of a new engine upgrade that will be available for this model when I place my order in a month or so. There are a few "custom" additions I want added to mine,as well as painting the Myco trailer and truck to match the boat colors. I have not yet seen another factory paint color combo to match this 42' Lightning,,and I can't wait to make the trip to N.C. to place the order and look at the factory. This will be my first boat of this size,as well as being my first "new" boat so I'm not cutting any corners.

Bullhead-Borderline,,you both sound like speed freaks to me,,guess that makes all three of us in the same boat,so to speak? I have owned a '78 Pace car Vette,and a '83 Hurst Olds,can you see a vision of the color combinations I REALLY like?? Silver,red and black all looks great on a car,just not sure about on a boat,especially black in the summertime.
I had not considered the 1350's for this,was told a slightly larger than 1075 motor was available with a 1 yr warranty,if I opted for the 1350's,,I'd need superglue to keep my cheeks from flapp'in,,that girl would scream like a scalded dog with those engines,probably peel the gelcoat off,,,now you have me think'in,and that always gets me in trouble,,always!! But thanks for the help,,advice is always welcomed on this project :)
