saw it up close at loto.
awesome boat :cool:

seen that a million times sitting on the side of sunrise :D

I have seen it at Havasu (it's original home:D ), and it is an awesome boat.

Now this wouldn't be some spam now would it? ;)

Did they get the Aqua Toy Store theft thing worked out?

just having fun today.. got my hands on a old camera and have some really good shots of the boat.. and just want to share them... also have 30 sec video of the boat running and the boat has three on board cameras and there's a tape running around here of it in the last Sarasota run..

Were those before or after the US Marshalls seized the boat???

bro that's spam.. LOL

I normally only go to threads that have the A word in them;) Bad a$$ boat, what is the story on it?

:D Just wonderin' if you guys were still sellin' it.

i guess i know all the back ground on the boat and i'm not sure he doesn't have this boat confussed with a different one.. i know there was a mix-up ont eh paperwork when the boat was last sold.. but that was just someone dropping the ball... but two phone calls and three faxes and that was it

ya we have the boat.. hope they bring a crane back over soon... pick me pick me i want ot go for a ride.. LOL

Coincidence? The boat went on sale shortly after he spun it out while showing off at the Horny Toad. Rumor has it that he had done that with another previous boat.

hey . . heres a thought. . . . lets try somthing new like lookin at some pics pf a WAY cool piece of offshore machinery and talk about how bad a$$ it is instead of crank'n up the rumor mill an start'n yet another smackdown thread. :D :D :p :p :rolleyes: :D


(i'm just suck'n up so maybe customrigger will take me for a ride if they get a crane :D :cool: )

Gee, it's even pointed in the right direction. Pointy end first! Last time I saw it it was definitely not moving with the pointy end in front!!!! LOTO will never forget that scary moment.

'Foul

why does a pic of a cool boat turn into a pile of crap more often that not

sounds like a bunch of old women here sometimes

Actually glass, this exact topic has popped up on a couple of other boards. It's just new to this one. Nothing new here.

Nice shot of that boat at the top in the Hyatt Basin in SUNNY SARASOTA FLORIDA, (though it's chilly here tonight).......

catmando

bro uncool post.... please delete that... just for respect of the owner of the boat..

I doubt there were payments on that boat!! Thats a cash type boat.

as is alot of other threads:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

OK . . lets get back on track.:cool: this thing is in my all time top ten wish list boats. i remeber the write up in the magazine a while ago,awsome interior. anybody have a pic of the inside?

these are from the TAOD website.

i love these in progress pics :cool: :cool: :cool:

you mean this interior shot.. LOL

you might mean this one.. :D

yea thats it,cool!! . . . . this is better than porn :D :D :D :D

i paint cars for a living and i tell ya i can't even begin to imagine doing a job that size:eek: that is pure talent!!!!!!!:D would love to ride in that, that has to be a experiance you could never forget:)

i do graphics on about a half a dozen boats a year. my biggest was a 39 foot ocean express cat (12 foot beam
:eek: ). i have looked up to guys like Dean Louks, MicherT, GeoGraphics and Dave Hunter just to name a few. your not kid'n about the size of some of these jobs. just amazing. the vision and talent these guys have is unreal
:cool: :cool: :cool:

bro you should see the thing up close.. i wish i had a camera that would pick it up.. the freehand airbrushing is UNREAL.. which it sounds like you guys know your paint.. when you look at the paint your eye just jumps for air brush marks to air brush marks.. i can see how they did it but no way i could come close (it would like drippy the paint gun if i tried it..LOL)...and the rest of the boat is all tri-coat coloring.. if your in the area stop by and look.. can't promise sea trails.. but if i could.. :D

I seen the boat when it was at LCM last year and everything was bad azz thats for sure!

glassdave , i have a guy ivy troxsclair here in new orleans that did the paint and graphics on the nor-tech that total marine did the quad rotor motors. he said "never again":D he asked me to help sand and polish and i was like "i'm booked ,sorry". i did not want any part of that job:D i will stick to my job with lincoln/ mercury. i love those new car gravey jobs:D :D i am suprised at how much work we have in the shop being the holidays. flaged 86 hrs this past week:cool: :cool: there are painters and then there are artist- and the list you gave is the best in the country , period;) :D :D

all i can say is when it came time to sand/buff the 39 ocean express i was sure glad 3M made 1200 grit color sanding paper for the DA. i couldnt imagine wetsanding somthing that big. although i have seen MicherT wet gitterbugging his stuff. what ever works i guess and hes one of the best. its tough to make the jump between boats and cars i personaly would do nothing but boats. if you like seeing the process MicherT usually posts start to finish pics on fastboats(dot)com. when i did the OceanX i spread the actual spraying over 4 seperate days 18 hours for each side15 hours for the rear deck and hatches and 24 straight hours for the foredeck (started at 9:00am on saterday got done 9:00am the next day :rolleyes: ) lots of grahpics and you know we only have that 24 hour window to get clear on :D :D


those nortechs are awsome. i will have to see if i can find a pics of the one you are talking about. have a good one man :cool: :cool: :cool:

this big 'ol whopper OceanX :D :rolleyes:

people i know that do big graphics with alot of colors use dupont 222 after all the colors are applied because of that window. have a friend KAL and he does alot of crazy paint and alot of stuff on car glass, tow trucks, etc and he sprays a coat of 222 on the glass first and his work sticks. it is a really good product. i am a sikkens man myself but i will use 222 on jobs that i know when i am going to blend a difficult color it doesn't let the base " stand up" or "catch " the da scatches and trace. use 3m 600 on all my jobs and for polishing i also use the 1200 on the foam da pad. i tell ya , that foam pad for the da paper is the best idea 3m could have came up with. eric.......

this is the boat ivy and KAL did that i wanted no part of:drool:

I just cleared out a spot under my tree but i don't think even Santa can fit that under there.

yea, funny thing about that pad. when they first came out with the fine paper i tried it after a friend suggested it only he didnt tell me about the pad. well . . it dont work without the intermediate pad :rolleyes: :D i thought it sucked and didnt try it again for like another year. go figure, i guess it pays to check with your reps :D :rolleyes: now i do all my sanding dry. i'm a PPG guy miself, do all my graphics in DBC and use DBC5000 to drag out my time (same as 222 i think) 2021 Concept clear :cool:
