Top 5 boat painters
 
I have seen some real nice paint jobs in the last few years. Who would you say are the top 5 painters. I thought that Extreme Mag also listed the top 5 but I can not find it.

Dan, there is a guy here in VA, about 90 minutes south of the DC area. His name is Barney, and he just painted Docmanrich37's 2004 37AT. Its phenominal. I don't know Barney's last name, but Rich should chime in anytime. I can give you his number. Barney and his work are currently being filmed for a show on The Discovery Channel.

George Piparo, does great work and is on his own now. He just finished a boat for me and the lines are a crisp as I've ever seen. Will post some pics just as soon as I can figure out how to get them from Email to here.

I've seen work by each in person, and they were all outstanding. I'd say you can't go wrong with any of them.
