The first thing we started sanding on was the transom after de-rigging the whole boat...

One of the things we are hoping to accomplish is to have a much smoother surface than it was when we got it. There is just a ton of transfer on the boat, and sanding it back down to parade rest will get rid of most of it...

Thinking about calling Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" for this one... This thing dwarfs even my spray booth on the trailer... It will fit in by inches, but we are going to build a shelter in the front of it so I can move around while I am spraying it...

This picture comes under the heading of "What the hell?"

There was a ton of paint on this boat, and as we got a little further down we could pretty clearly make out "Wolverine" and have a pretty good idea of what this boat may have been previously called...

Last chance Erik... you sure you don't want to leave it?

Good work!

I think you are doing the right thing as well- if you didn't post there would be speculation and a stigma (say it ani't so on OSO..) on how it was repaired the rest of the boats life..

That was the 40 at Ocean Performance that had the American Flag graphics owned by a furniture store owner in Connecticut. The boat was then painted by Ocean Performnce x men grafix. I looked at this boat myself a while back.

Was wondering what happened to that boat. Another 40 Skater flatdeck had been on the rocks in havasu also? It had brown filler under the front sponson and had yellow and black graphics??

Flatdeck40 where on Lake Mead did this happen? I go there a lot and want to know where to watch out. How fast where you going when this happened?. Let me know how the pant turns out. I am still trying to decide what to do with mine. Remember I was the guy that bought AJ's Colorful 2006 36 Skater. I have also been rerigging the boat and updating intercoolers, changing dash layout etc. Doing a boat test tomorrow to see how well they set up ECU's for Quad Whipples. Has Trident painted many Skaters before or other big boats? Sure looks like they do quality work. Good luck. I might be interested in talking with them about mine.
