There ya go! :drink: Believe me the numbers aren't near as impressive as the handling/ride quality difference. Chris is topnotch, believe me he'll make sure you and your buddy are taken care of. Tell him Erick with the 22' velocity recommended him, he should get a kick out of it.

Talked to Chris today roughly 2500-3500 is what he's quoting on the phone. You must've not had much bottom work done.

pick up my heads at Tyler Crockets and bring me your boat ill do the last 6 feet 1500 to 2000 I have a gallon of ice white left it would be nice to see a picture of your boat running I like to see where the water brakes and . Most 302,s run high and dry allready so if you see any hooks or rocker in the bottom this would be a good thing . since you have an 03 I would say a shorty would work

Wow, I don't know what the big price dif would be. My boats shorter but not 4 to five times smaller. I had some rockers and hooks in my hull, he actually said it was pretty bad. I'm cornfused:(

Yea me too...Was actually shocked:eek: sorta was figuring double..

Here's a couple pics of it running...

No he did not have much done and the reason being issssssssssss Chris , mostly removed an add on that somebody else put on the bottom of the hull before Erick purchased the boat that was not in the mold which was causing the boat to handle badly and scrap speed and this is why the job was only $700 to do . I would also like to mention , that if everybody does the Math at 50 dollars an hour to blueprint a bottom which comes to 14 hr's of labor Plus material's that is like going to K mart for the blue light special and to tell you the truth , i can not think of any glass guy out there blueprinting a bottom for that price .

Dave , before people can give you a direct quote they really have to look at the bottom of your boat and if the shigles on the bottom of your boat were built into the mold considering your boat is an outlaw hull and the part was pulled green like the people from Baja told you and you want the strakes razor sharp along with the transom edge done and the glass work that is envolved after removing the shingles and putting the bottom back in jell Your boat is not going to be a straight forward blueprint job . Dave , if you can get your boat done for 15 hundred to 2 K from CRAYOLACRAZY , i Strongly suggest that you just might want to go for it . Dave , i also see that you were asking OFFSHORE GINGER , ( Artie ) on Serious offshore about blueprinting your bottom and might i mention that Artie has over 30 years experience doing fiberglass repair and before you make a choice Art has been blueprinting bottoms for years along with adding strakes and pads to boats when he worked at Skater and has a few threads out there showing the work he has done on the old Don Q Rum and in fact he added the lifting strakes to that hull . Hi Steve .

Dave just remember that not everybody see's the same gains and realistically nobody can ever gurantee how much speed you will achieve from blueprinting the bottom because every boat is different .

Thanks for all the replys.
