Looks awesome! how long before the boat is painted?
im putting her back on the trailer tomorrow and taking it 50 miles to my painter ... he is going to block sand it to get my swirls and smooth it out ... and should have it back next week
nice work my man, nice work. Git-R done!!
Well I dropped her off at my painter, he had 2 boats that just got sprayed and they looked awesome! !
I'm using supermarine paint SM1000 and white/grey/burnt orange are the colors ... said it would be a week and a half till iver her back ....
cannot wait to see what she looks like!
Took a couple snaps shots of what has done already !!! http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...6/54a3f983.jpghttp://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...6/850a6cdb.jpghttp://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...6/468c6684.jpg
Looks good! These boats have a lot of vinyl in them.
Purty...did you make those center sections removable?
WOW I love that color. Wait didnt you sew those up or did you give in and send it out??
Looks awesome! How are you embedding your pictures on your posts? I find these stay where as the attachments go away after awhile.
Ob- I sent the interior to get done by my buddie James , I wanted back support so the whole middle section and seat base acts as a flap to clean and add support An so fort , so ya it removes but still attached to the bottom .
Jet - yeah man I gave up , with out a walking foot sewing machine the vynil will not feed right , so I sent it off but he gave me a great price and it's I'n lewisville if ur interested ... He is doing the whole boat for 1200.00
Wiatowski- get a photobucket account and upload from phone or Pc and copy the [img] code and paste directly to the reply box , only 4 are allowed I'n one post ..
I'll update more when it's painted and interior is done .. Thanks for the kudos
thanks!!! once again can't wait to see after it comes back from painting! :)

I have a couple of questions about Your paint. Is the etching primer that You purchased an epoxy? Also is Your painter priming the gelcoat , or did He sand it down to fiberglass? I'm seeing a lot more automotive finishes on boats these days , and I like the looks. Should be less maintenance than gelcoat right?
Jeff
jeff- Look up super marine paint {sm1000}
I washed and de greased and sanded most of the boat with 320 grit , just to break down , then i made some minor stress crack repairs with a razor blade and body filler .. he is going to finish the rest
The paint itself is a one part hybrid epoxy resin with pigmet of choice , it's literary 3 resins in one but cures with oxygen instead of hardener ...
also the etching primer is a must with any paint on any fiberglass product , this paint hardens like hard enamel so if its scratched or scuffed you can sand it out and buff back to a shine . personally i have never used this paint and have took a risk at spending all this money with no prior results , but I have great faith it will turn out great ...
less maintenance ... idk ? but deff wont chalk up or go dull . and i also got two different etching primers white for the (White/ Grey) and red oxide for the (orange)
Thanks . That's what I was looking for. I've seen a lot of "high end" boats done with HOK , but I haven't heard anything good about HOK's epoxy primer. Since the gelcoat is known to retain the mold release agents and wax , I was looking for something that is known to adhere.
Yeah I better get busy with the razor blade and filler. There's probably a hundred holes since I took all the teak off.
good luck to you sir and if you need any help just ask ...
Email me his # please.
whats your email ?
by chance, if your Supra has the 351 ford, did you replace your starter motor with a high torque motor, and if so, can you tell me the model number and where you found it, at what cost? I want to replace mine and going on-line is not only confusing but the "new" prices range from $50 to $200. As you might imagine, I'm a bit confused.
thanks
Ibagby- no man I did not replace my starter , it is a remanufactured from oriellys auto parts .. And it has aQuote:

Learned about ford starters or any starters for that matter , just crank for 3 seconds , if engine don't fire then you ain't maintaining it like you should .. That's my two cents brother man ..
Reworked the trailer , man that grip tape was a pain I'n the butt to get off ...

looking good man, I have to say you are the one who inspired me to keep going on mine. I have to replace stringers and restore my hole boat as well but it is definitely worth it.
Thanks man ! you know its like i tell my wife you only live once , you might as well enjoy every second of it !Quote:

Agreed, can't wait to see the two together.
Wow. Today was the first time I stumbled upon this thread mostly because of these pics of this trailer. I'm trying to get mine to look like that. While it was very long to get through all 32 pages, it was well worth the read. What an experience and an amazing project.
Lively; All my respect. Nice work.
