That looks sweeter than 95% of the new boats I see. If I had it to do over, I would have got a plain white hull and done vynal.

Thanks everyone I am glad you all like it as much as I do.

If any one wants to see some more of Ryan's work check out his website http://www.kineticanimation.com/

Today I ripped out all of the interior. in the photos its hard to tell but it is a light gray color. It looked okay before.... but with the new graphics it just looks out dated. I don't have enough money to redo the whole interior so I am going to use automotive vinyl interior dye to change the gray to white. I have used these dyes many times before in auto restoration and on parts of my last boat. It should cast me about a $100 in materials and I will have a new interior. I don't know how long it will last on a boat but I should get a few years out of it before I re do everything from scratch. As soon as this is done it is going to NJ to get the motor installed..... Its been a year and a half long project and I am almost finished.

I cant wait.

If anyone is interested in a set of bow flags please let me know. They are $25 a set ( right and left) I have about 75 sets available and they are ready for shipping. They measure about 18" X 7" just drop me a email [email protected] or mail a check to

HOLY **** PAUL, I CANT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE !! You just saved your self 40 large by redoing the graphics instead of buying a new ride. It looks GREAT

The graphics came out FANTASTIC!!!

Hope you can come out here to Cape Cod for the APBA race in June. I'd love to see the boat close up.
