I learned a long time ago the best guys to have doing work for you are the ones that have the "trust me" attitude, b/c they are confident enough that once they are done with a project the owner is going to love it. Now there's obviously a line to be crossed if some totally hates a idea, but for the most part the most successful guys are those that stretch the boundaries. My 2.5 cents

Take that 2.5 cents and get those K-planes bought and installed!

Chevy - Jeff just earned Beer Biotch status for another season!

Awe, c'mon guys...you're ruthless! Where's yer faith? Have I ever steered you wrong?

Flames can be awesome if they're done right. I enclosed a detail pic from the drawing. If you look closely, there is a secondary pearl ghost flame behind the top flames. The top flames are also shaded and inter-weaved for more dimension. They will also be 'domed' so they look like they are liquid. After all of that is finished, they will look killer.

Velocity, Fountain and some of the others don't go to the extra lenghts to make them look that way....not very often, anyway.

Come to Miami and take a look at it, you're gonna luv it!

Thanks for the extra detailed pics Mitch. It looks great. Hope you had a great holiday.

Mitcher T is going to hate when I order my F4. Solid black hull with a white deck. No flames, scallops, swirls, swooshes, daggers, swords..................simplicity meets classic.

MT good explanation of the shadowing flames I can't wait to see it in Miami in February.

Thanks for keeping an open mind Jupiter. You are going to give Wayne a stroke, though, when you hit him with this black and white idea. We've had our share of conversations around this F4. Sunsation is making a very valient stand in their entry into this poker run genre. This is a stunning boat, as I'm sure anyone who has seen it will agree. It's exciting to see the enthusiasm surrounding this boat. I love being a part of it.

See you in Miami.

Beer Biotch it is

Mitcher you might have to desing the paint job for my next boat

Hey Mitcher T, did you paint this 42X: http://www.offshoreonly.com/esvon/page-11344.html

It has your "look" and it is one of my favorite boats right now. Price just dropped another 20K this week . The blue 38 TG you painted this year for Grand Sport had the same theme.
