I built it. It sets real well in the water. At least it's what I like. Max speed 29.4 mph in deep water. 36hp prodrive with efi. |

Stock efi from prodrive. 2 deals fell thru with the painting. They said "oh yeah I can paint it " then I showed them pics of rickys work that I expected of them and never heard back. So I don't know now what to do..any suggestions? ? |

Do you know the preparation procedure on new aluminum? I think I could do it. Just don't want it to start flaking off because of a missed step in prep. |

Lol no, guy that built my boat painted mine, it will make a year old and no flaking, only place missing paint is where it bumps up against shit, and I'm not anal about my paint job bc it's basically a fckin work boat, so I got a lot of scratches where paint missing lol |

I DA sand with 220, acid etch/wash with aluma brite http://powerpressurewash.com/aluma-brit ... eaner.html, clean with a automotive surface cleaner due to a car guy telling me acetone can leave a film, etch prime with a stromium chromate primer, and then top coat with an industrial enamel after about 8 hrs of the primer being sprayed if you want to do things the best and most expensive way. I have also 220 sanded, acid washed, degreased wiyth an automotive surface cleaner, epoxy primed, and top coated about 1 hour after the primer was sprayed and it has held great on a bumper for the past 5 yrs that hits lots of trees. |

I sprayed 2 boats the other day after I prepped them with sanding, acid wash, surface degrease, and stromium chromate primed them. I used some automotive enamel OD green the military jeep restoration guys use that was 36 bucks off ebay, thinned it 25% with Xylene. The stuff is remarkable tough, then bought some camo stencils off ebay and rattle canned the camo over the base OD green enamel. |

Why not get Ricky to paint it if thats the quality you want? Is his stuff real high? It is amazing looking product and I spend $300 in material on my cheapo paint jobs and could spend more if I clear coated like him. |

It's 12 hrs one way to rickys. And that's either 4 trips or stay out there all week while he paints it. Kinda tuff to do either option.. |

I did not realize you we're out of state, I thought all members were Louisiana residents lol. Not saying my work was great, but the eBay stencils surprised me and I did it in 30 minutes in a hurry with good results and could of done a better job. |
