Paint looks great, REALLY great.


Dude, bonus points for making something just for me. That's fuggin funny too.

Yeah, fixing the bilge outlet (non functional) would require glass work.
That bilge is part of the abortion that was this hull when I bought it.















On a side note, I'm kinda surprised nobody commented on my last story. Maybe ya'll are over my stories.

So here's the schedule.

Ride Sunday, then come home, start tearing it down.
I find a certain amount of irony in the fact that I will have one ride on my new paint job before I call the season done and start cutting. The good news is, I have stuff to do.

I keep forgetting to place my order with US Composites. Hopefully I remember on Monday. I once I get the the hull emptied out I can start cutting I guess. Hmm...


Maybe I should get out my good camera and a tripod. Seems to be the big build up everyone has been waiting for. Oh yeah. I need to weigh it.

Rode today as planned. Had big fun. 73 degrees, water was almost glass, no wind, sunny. Even had a few good boats!
Did good and added stabil to the remaining fuel before I packed it up and fogged the motor when I got home. Gotta protect my ridiculous investment.

9/15 seemed to run fine. Didn't notice any cavitation, but I didn't notice a lot more 'pop' either. So I dunno.

Paint looks great, wax worked great, barely had to wipe it off when I finished up. Hopefully tomorrow I remember to order my composites, and I need to make a list of the stuff I want to do.

All in all, good day. Excited to cut the hull.

Not as awesome as the first, ( eye el oh el'd) but I'm flattered that someone would make a pic for me, so definitely preeshiated.

So why are you quoting the 'cut the hull' bit? For your your use or to hold it over my head if I don't follow through? Either answer is fine, just want to make sure I understand.

Ok, update!
Placed my order with US composites today. I talked to a guy at sollar composites and he said the full sheet of Kevlar and the thick carbon I'm using is probably over kill. So I dialed back to the 6" Kevlar tape. I think I ordered 6 yards. Gonna order my CF from Sollar tomorrow.
