I am the owner of the boat and the guy who chose the colors and designed the new color scheme. I am also a nostalgic person and like to restore things rather than change them. When I bought the boat it was in horrible shape. The Indian head paint job was a 60 coat work of art that was probably 1/4" thick. The issue was, it had gashes and scratches running through it from the previous owners and touching it up or fixing it would never look right. I like all of my toys to be perfect, especially after a renovation like this one. I looked at stripping it down and having it repainted but all of the famous boat painters had a 1 year waiting list and I wanted to get it done and on the water quickly. It is also over a $100K Paint job in today's dollars and I wanted to use that $$$ on other parts of the boat. Choosing a simple 2 color paint scheme was way less expensive and faster. I added the deck stripe for nostalgia from my dads old racing days. I hope you all understand.

Awesome link, love to see this type of rebuild. Great story...much better than the latest DCB roll-out. The workmanship, time, effort, and passion show, could do with a different color pallet but to each their own, love the fact that Bobby S. is involved so deeply.

I think the black and yellow looks bad azz, better than the original frankly. clean and sporty. Cool link and story. Thanks jack!
any more pics of this thing? Maybe running or in the water? Wonder if it’s coming out to Cali since the dude lives in L.A. now. I see the pic of him in his skater looks like havasu.

So does this guy crank Stryper from the tape deck??
Its not that I dont like it, It looks great, but the Only Mohican is/was the Only Mohican.
Its like taking hot dogs and apple pie and turning them into hamburgers and chocolate cake..Hamburgers and chocolate cake are good, but hot dogs and apple pie are the classics.....
