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.

 Re: Picked up the new boat yesterday!
Thanks frog, you mean the difference from the before and after or the paint itself looks different from pic to pic?

 Re: Picked up the new boat yesterday!
Gator base complete, I'm suprised at how slick the base is also. Can't wait to see the finished product.

 Re: Picked up the new boat yesterday!
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

 Re: Picked up the new boat yesterday!
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!

 Re: Picked up the new boat yesterday!
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.
