You disapprove?

jeff32 02-20-2018 10:15 PM

Not at all! Its only that there is no azz shot and i would be curious to see what 4 feet looks from behind! Im sure its gonna look killer like an mti azz or something! Boat will look like 20 years newer!

looking at cockpit options i built a console and PPI style buckets all around. These are the older style which i like a lot better and i have a mold for the inner structure. . . . man these things are comfy lol

going to mod the dash to accommodate these things but it well worth it, seats will be up on about a six inch riser as well

glassdave 06-21-2018 07:51 AM

doing the buckets across the back but this riser will have to come down about six inches :cool:

some final tuning on the rubrail capping, thr entire cap get a final heavy coat of raw gel to fine tune the feature lines. This boat actually lends itself well to the process, by that i mean all the natural shapes terminate ascetically (i know thats a big word Al . . . google it . . :D)

i really like how the inner and outer spray rails blended together, makes ya wonder why they didnt do it from the factory. Most of the gel actually gets sanded off in this process to give that final shape. . . . .

"Ascetically" or aesthetically? :)

Project looks great, love the idea of 'capping' the gunnel.

glassdave 07-11-2018 08:41 PM

been doing some fine tuning on the rubrail caps, love the way the spray rails came together at the tips of the sponsons and the leading edge of tunnel. shot raw gel to fair out the lines. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...58c3ee8224.jpg

the raw gel goes on pretty rhick but sands and shapes real easy and also allows the ability to sharpen the lineshttps://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...85bfb325c2.jpg

I take it because that is more durable the primer? I ask because I have a little mod going on with my boat.
