Anal or Crazy?
 

OK, I am far too detail oriented, from my car projects.
So before I took my trim tabs to get powdercoated.
I wanted them to look good,so I spent way too much time sanding the casting marks off the tabs.
They should be smooth as glass when they get back from the powdercoater.

Am I anal, or crazy?

No problem , what ever floats your boat :cool:. I restored a 57 Chevy convertible to the last nut and bolt , so I know detail too. I try with my boat too , but then stick it in scuzzy water or have an oil leak in the freshly cleaned and painted bilge. It makes it hard :mad:

Man, I had to wonder for minute if my wife titled this thread. That's all I hear from her is how anal I am about the boat. One reason is, it's just in my genes. Dad raced boats for years and I came up through NHRA and outboard tunnels. Everything has to be rigged just so. Wife says I embarass her when we have friends on the boat. Oh well - that's why I get compliments all the time about how great that "old" '89 Formula 311 looks. Here's to Anal Retentives Anonymous!:crazy:

I did the same thing and I lost 2mph. It was the suction effect I was told from the race team. It should look great though... Just f##king with you, I made that all up, freaked you out though. I would probably do the same, I just spent the day polishing the lower unit and the tabs.

My first wife was anal AND crazy. And when I say anal.......

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

The smoother they are... the more even the powder coating and the easier they are to keep clean.... but yeah... you are anal.... :rolleyes:
