this boat was raced with triple 2.5, I'm just adding one more

Looks great David!

D&D,

Awesome paintwork! Esepcially the canopies.

I also like the side mirrors.

Where did you get the mirrors?

David, please start a new thread on the motors and the work being done on them :)


Cool!

Boat is coming out beautiful! Great work Dave!

Dave will have to tell you where he got the mirrors, I will see about doing a thread on some of the motor stuff.

Thanks Okie,
I'm sure glad that Glass Dave took on this project. If there is anyone out there thinking about getting some work done on their boat, I'd definitely reccommend Glass Dave as someone you can trust to look out for your interests even when it inconveniences him and his schedule. He's has been absolutely the best.

Great thread!

is the 36 over in the rigging shop yet? :grinser010:

Dave, awesome graphics and graphic design !!

I like the stainless bumprail also !! Cool job.

David, please continue with the rigging pics :)

Dave,
Thanks for everything!
I'm looking forward to continuing the rigging process.
Definitely, hitting the ground running with what you already accomplished in the bilge.
I've got a large rack there on the transom just waiting for Mercury Black!
I've got to get busy :party-smiley-004:

Since restos can get pricey, it 's always helpful to have your wife on board

David you're a lucky man. may you recieve many more blessings!

Blaze!!!

Looks great, keep us posted on the rigging.

Hey there okie! Yeah that's my wife's middle name, and I thought it would be appropriate

What can I expect to pay for a new paint job, some underside rust issues, and new wheel bearings on my triple axle skater trailer?

can any body give me a ballpark on sandblast and repaint on my triple axle skater trailer???

2,500 - 3,500 would be my WAG.

First time I have seen the tunnel pods stick out past the transom. Interesting. Nice project. I am curious to see how quads work on this boat. There was a 35 Motion with quad O/B's that I was close to buying but was told the boat did not handle very well with four props.

36 skater project
 

Has anyone had their skater trailer blasted and repainted lately? any reccommedations appreciated.

36 skater project
 

you're right, the original set up for triples also had the tunnel pod extending out the same amount. we figured to keep it the same with the quads

give glass dave a call I think we have a plan

Are you the guy with the big shop and overhead hoist?

the shop belongs to offroading here on the forum,He's retired and likes making cool fast stuff cooler and faster.

I own Jetconection performance marine and have been building go fast since 1982.

I want to use resin coated dyed carbon fiber for my dash and console areas, does anyone have any suggestions or advice on this as well as sources? There's one called composite envisions. I was wondering if anyone has used their services?

Dragon Plate does custom CnC panels but i'm not sure they do colors. Cant remember that other place that had the colored stuff.

I passed on you contact number this afternoon to Jon and Chuck at the truck/trailer/boat shop. Hope you an the boat are stayin out of this coldness. yuck!

Thanks for the info Dave, and yep the 36 is stored inside until when youre ready for it.
I'm working on getting the gauges ordered as well as the throttle and shift controls changed to Quad. Latham is going to take care of the latter.

Just to give you an idea of how a black carbon dash would look. This pic was taken from Ocean Outboard, NY. This is a 32 Skater Cat with outboards.

Thats a nice 32 Outboard they have have there. Have considered buying it once or twice over the years.

Thats cool, is that bungie for hands free throttles or making sure stays in gear during rough water?
