That thing is looking awesome. Love the colors!!! Right before winter, I had mine at Skater for a new rubrail and Appearance Products for a new interior. I pulled it home and put it in storage right away. Have not even sat on the seats yet. I also can't wait for some good weather! Again...Looks GREAT! Dave

Erik - Paint job looks amazing. I really like your choice of color scheme.

Come on.. You just want a project!! After doing those tanks you have found the ITCH for it.

I'm amazed at how quickly this work was done. Little over a month.. Looks good.

Erik,
Looks great but what happens when you install the vessel view 7 and the 5208? It will cover most of the logo on the dash.

erik1976 04-07-2014 03:29 PM

The logo on the dash was richy, he didn't know what the plan was for the gps. It will have to do the way it is but he's painting the logo on the gps cove for when it's installed.

Double Rigged 04-07-2014 03:35 PM

Let me know when they are ready to pick up the rest of the parts. Would really like to see the boat finished!
Should be really nice!

Erik purchased my previous 2011, 74 hour 300xs. They are flawless. I got new 2014 300xs for my 28. Erik's boat will come here next to have them installed, then we will play in South Florida a little with Double Rigged and enjoy the boats.:) my Skater is the all white with Lime Green interior boat, now with new power and waiting on the Aero Marine windshield that we will install at Electronics Unlimited. Erik's engines on the stand.
The pic is my boat next to Double Rigged at Islamorada this year. The Mike Nass cowls are a necessity not a luxury.

Double Rigged 04-07-2014 08:57 PM

Looking good Jim!!!
Good to see the outboard Skaters getting lots of upgrades. Everyones boats are really looking good!
I am getting jealous....... May need to come up with some new ideas LOL

LAriverratt 04-08-2014 05:20 AM

well Erik guess your 300x's found a home. the xs's will be nice. all you guys 28's look great...has me second guessing my move to the 308 instead of a re-rig of the 28 LOL.

noli 04-08-2014 07:05 AM

Thanks for clarifying Zero P, definitely bad ash cats right there!

Nice stuff thanks for posting. Are you adding any engine or lower unit mods?

erik1976 04-08-2014 11:56 AM

I think i'll just keep the motors as they are. ZP has had good luck with them and maintained them perfectly, dont want to spoil that haha.

Zero Patience 04-08-2014 04:17 PM

Erik, those are cool wing plates. I am ready to bolt them on:)

I should drop a note about richy the painter. This guy is an artist and a really good guy to work with, he has gone above and beyond on this one. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants an amazing job, quick and at a great price. Give him a call, you won't regret it. Tell him erik sent you 305- 606-8498
