Hey dmax, he's still got his comfy job so he's not building full time but from the last 6-8 weeks him and I have been talking he's been pretty busy on the side.

Thanks frog, you mean the difference from the before and after or the paint itself looks different from pic to pic?

Gator base complete, I'm suprised at how slick the base is also. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Ok, I see now, the sun at different angles did make it look different. I was able to put 4 thin coats, I would have done 5 but I'm working nights and I'm just working on it for a couple hours before I go to work. The 4 coats covered it well though, I'm sure it is plenty enough, well I'm hoping anyway

Looks awesome!! He was putting the finishing touches on it when i went picked up my skiff and it looked really good then. Cant wait to hear how it rides once you get it all rigged out. I put my running lights in mine yesterday when i got home and we are headed to the camp in stephensville tomorrow evening to go set some limb lines and bait the trot lines up. Im loving mine though!

Well I got the gator glide done and finally got to rig my motor and run it for the first time. I am very happy with the performance, jason built me a runner. My myself it held a strong 31 mph and bumped 32 a few times. Today with my lil boy and 2 ice chest full of ice ran 30 all morning. The boat turns real good with the tapered bottom.
