[Matt_E]

Notice the sweet Rearview mirror style Yamaha logo. Think "Ambulance"
That's what those couch mirrors are for.

Killer ski Matt.:Banane01::fing02::Banane01: SOme seem too pretty to ride. Almost feel guilt on that thing first time in the surf. :splatt:

Did you clear over theregistration #'s too?
What exactly happened with the Blowsion sticker?

Looks Killer.

 

[Matt_E]

Yes, cleared over all the stickers that are showing int he pics.
The Blowsion stickers sort of repelled the clearcoat and produced runs.

 

[Matt_E]

Alright, I decided to clear over it again.
Going to do that right now.

How close in color is the new orange to your old copper?

 

[nikad58]

Now thats P U R D Y !!!

My number one goal this season isn't a roll or a flip - it's to stay running without rebuild.

:nutkick::nutkick::nutkick::nutkick:

 

[Matt_E]

It has more red in it.
It has a lot more pop to it, hard to explain.

I just got done clear coating and I am glad to say I am improving. :biggthumpup:
It's looking nice.
Pics tomorrow.

Are then any different than the Northern Inbred rides they have at Westport/Grayland?

More pics.
Got it buffed/polished (and managed to go down to primer on a small spot on the pole....:soapbox
Got the bottom assembled, pole assembled, and waterbox in.
I glued down two new Tsunami bilge pumps.
I need to shim the motor.
