Slick,
Trying to get my painted this winter. Glassdave don't return messages!??? Talking with Ratical Rodney in MO to try to work out a good price. Motors are out(one rebuilt and other getting rebuilt), drives getting rebuilt, transmissions going drysump with stats, working on paint, new Manning trailer going 5th wheel with a 3rd tool box.

Hey mark, need paint, i wouldn't mind giving you a price, and a couple renderings....after you see our work!!! what do you have for power, drives, props, and what kind of speed are you getting?

I would love to see your work. Did you paint your own boat?

900hp, ASD8-16, Rolla Props, 110mph WOT.

I love this paint job and colors. Want the paint from the rub rail up and not all of the way accross. Most of the deck will stay white. The back of boat and hatchs mostly red.

not a problem at all!! what size props are you running!

Yes i panited in house, we justed moved into out new shop and we are installing a paint booth for cats and vees, and tow rigs. The booth is 300k, and will fit up to 60' long and 20'wide, and it is a down draft, so the work is flawless!!! I will let our work speak for it self.

The facility sounds great. The biggest problem I have is tow the big boat. I need permits and that cost me $450.00 to tow to the NYPR. The tow took us 20hrs one way. That would be my biggest problem.

I forgot the prop size. I think 18x29 with a 1:1.33 reduction Rolla 4 blade.

permits should only be about $10 to $40 a state? for me to go to fl from nj is about $140 in permits, i use comdata. i will post the number tomorrow!!!!

I need permits for IL, IN, OHio, Penn., NJ. It was about $40-50 per state each way. Wide load permit tolls are almost triple on the turnpikes.

Any pics?

Mark

SlickNick, are you the same Nick I met at a Hummer 4x4 event in Paragon this year? Ric
