I spent close to $2,000 for primer, color and clear coat alone. Plus about $500 in reducers sandpaper resperater cartriges, beer, fibergalss, tape etc.
I am painting the boat myself. 7colors and some mixed fades. Should come out quite nice.

Martin shouldnt beer have been at the top of the list:p
I spent the winter sandblasting and repainting a front end loader and I think that I drank 1 beer for every pound of sand used and ounce for ounce for every gallon of paint:drool:

:eureka: Hey I could have filled the pot on my primer gun w/beer and been swingin two guns at once:crazy: paint some beer some, paint some beer some:D

Oh man did I ever...It just came about an hour ago and I called the mechanic.They look to be identical!Mounts and all.

If there's a difference I can't tell......they look the same.

Thank you soo much....You help is appreciated more than you know!

I spent saturday buffing and waxing the boat out and redid the carpet on the swimdeck.It's gettin there.Even the mechanic looked at me funny when I told him how I got the parts.He said"That's pretty cool!"

You say your transom is soft......that's a ***** man.I take it you know your way around fiberglass work!Thank God I haven;t come up against any of those gremlins......:crazy:

No problemo. And no, I dont know my way around fiberglass very well, but like everything else, learn by doing. And I really hate fiberglass.
