Prototype Joker history
 

I recently boat a race boat that was bought at an auction back east in 2012ish. I’m looking for any history. It’s a 1999 29’ Prototype. I believe it’s all Kevlar and glass, no wood. Hull #PRO28004A1999. I believe this means it’s a 28’ proto built in ‘99. #4 hull that was built. It was originally fluorescent green/purple/blue race livery. It has 2 vents a pad and notched hull, super light. It rides amazing, it wants to literally fly across the top of the water, a very weird felling for a deep v.
I pulled the whole boat apart back in 2021 for a full makeover, new interior new gel coat new engine/drive. I found a lot of repairs from its race days. Pleas if anyone knows anything about Prototype’s being raced or you know this hull reach out, I’d love to hear about it. Posting pics soon if I can figure out how….

Curious. Looks like you rolled the paint, or possibly gel? Rolled, sanded, wet sanded, and buffed for final finish? How did it go?

It’s all sprayed gel coat. The blue is transparent so it takes like 7-8 coats so yes it looks like it’s rolled😂, that just how it works. Its sands right up with d/a and will buff to a mirror. I’m waiting until I’m done rigging, it will get scratched here and there so there’s no point until it’s all done. Just the way I do them.

Interesting. It was all the texture that made me think it might be rolled. Especially a couple of the areas up top in the Blue.

Thanks
