teaching an old dog new tricks (graphics)
 

OK . . so i pull my boat in the shop last weekend and i was going to claen it up to finnaly throw it in the water and i accedentally grabbed my sander instead of my soapy water and sponge :D. now keep in mind this paint job took me about 4 days to complete, sanded and buffed, looks very good. i really was just gonna paint it white and put a wide black stripe down the side at the rubrail is but the more i looked at it in all white i just couldnt leave it alone :D. i just started tape'n and this is what i ended up with :p i think i even blacked out for a bit too. i kinda had to get in a zone to get this cranked out i really only had a few days to work with.

anyway my question to you guys (and gals :) ) is how do the new school graphics look on my old school ride. i always thought the windshield dated my boat and thought it would conflict with anything to wild so i tried to keep it on the milder side. i am considering a white fairing in the future.

I like the stripe along the water line in the "old photo"... Is that stripe made of the stuff that catches on fire that floats along the top of the Maumee?.............. :D :D

Hey Dave,

Ride looks good. Mine is in at LP now, but I need to ask you about glass. I might sell the boat.

hey, i was out there Saturday night, didn't get there till like 10:00pm though. saw your boat, looks good. why are you selling lt?? and what do you need done ? . . . . . .oh uhhh, i'd like to apologize for my group for the endless scooter fly by's.:D :D those things are too much fun but i think we may have had them out a bit to late for some:D :D

Long story about the boat. It LOOKS good... I'll tell you about it some time. Do you do tabbing? Plus, I have same rotation Cobras and the azz drops in the water bad. Counter rotating Alphas is what I'll do if I keep it, but I'm not happy enough with everything to keep it.

I was going to come out Saturday but I felt like crap. I don't know where they shot the fireworks off from, but my boat is TRASHED. Dirt, bird poop, ashes, scum, fireworks leftovers. Gonna have to clean it tomorrow.

I see how you are, my boat had new colors, so you had to have new colors.

Maybe you raised a bunch of dust and got my boat dirty. I want my money back. Wah.
smiley here.
