Yes it is paint from KMG in Cally. The detail is hard to tell from the photos but in the middle of the silver it has the Carbon Fiber pattern which we carried into the seats....

Thank you for the nice comments...The pictures truly do not do it justice. Tom Petersen is a craftsmen, the attention to detail and the ingenuity that he puts into his builds is top notch. The engine compartment is so clean and detailed it hurts to get it dirty !!!!

This is your boat?   If so it looks amazing!   Might need a build thread for it.

Hey Chad, when I located the hull it was already painted and all of the interior glass work was done as well. It was a great starting point.. The guy that owned it previously had planned to restore it and plans changed for him. He gave it to a boat broker in Havasu called PCM which is where I first saw it. After several months of back and forth I bought it and delivered it to Tom Petersen in Havasu to build for me and my family. Everything on this boat is new or refurbished as we started with just a hull. We did do some work in the bulkhead to strengthen the deck and we also added bump rails to the exterior, but that is about it to the exterior of the hull. The interior was built from scratch to custom fit the seats and the layout.

Ok thanks bud I think I saw it on Craigslist for sale awhile back really nice looking kona man if I had the money I would do the same to mine.

The carpet does not run into the bilge area. It stops right at the end of the interior. The bilge/engine compartment area is all done up in a high gloss black it is all fiberglass. The best picture I have of this is attached. You can see where it goes from a flat black to a high gloss black.

I have not had it all the way open yet. I have only had the boat out a few times with family in the passenger seats so not really sure. When I purchased the motor from one of Tom Petersen's customers they had it in the mid 70's. There is no speedometer in the dash cluster as we opted for the larger faced tachometer.

So I spoke with tom at great length , with the setup it should be a 70+ mph boat but that's not the best thing , this boat is no joke the paint the setup i.e. the rigging ............ for what it's being sold for is a steal so I hope u get what u want for this AWSOME boat because if I had the cash it would be sold by now .
