What's up everyone! I just picked up a 15' Ocean Express Nitro tunnel boat. I run a coastal fiberglass out of Va beach area, I picked this up as a personal boat to cruise around with the family. Here are a few pics of what has been done so far, if you have any questions feel free to ask. If this thread belongs somewhere else please move it. I and doing tons of glass work and such so thats why it's here is fiberglass and paint!

List of things to do...
New coosa transom
glass knees in transom to reinforce
ground out every single crack glassed it then faired with vynilester putty
all new orange and white upholestery
custom tangelo orange pearl paint job with kandy old school flames
new rub rail
all new lights and pumps
all new wiring
90hp 4 stroke suzuki....should push it to 60mph....fast enough with family
blasted trailer and custom paint to match boat.

Just to give you an idea this is the type of paint job that is going on this boat something very similar to this but some added flake.......paint is going on in a week or so....the boat should be done over the next 3 weeks or so...
