Just picked up a solid hull for a killer price. (Thanks Ryan) My first project boat and I'm stoked. My gears are spinning........ everything is there but motor and pump.
-
Looks like there is going to be some nice youngbloods running around.
-
ya. needs some tlc tho. iv'e got some work to do.
-
I guess the "winger" bug is getting around. That color is going to look mean when it's done, good luck and keep the pics coming.
-
x2 on the color.....gonna look badazz on the water. summers almost here, better hurrry up and get her together. did you sell the challenger?
-
Thanx fellas. I know I'm doing my best with the resources I have to get in in the water by summer. I do still have the challenger, I want to sell it though....I'm in a toss up between selling, and taking the motor out for the new float????????? :o
-
Pull the motor and pump!
-
the pump is a jacuzzi and it's set up for a berk/dom.....so no go on that. thought about pulling motor and having some work done to it then dropping it in, but then i will be stuck with boat less motor. I don't know yet :screwy:
-
There was a guy at the big 3 selling a complete berk minus intake for $75.00 You shouldnt have a problem finding one cheap

I'm pretty sure you are talking about my brother. Let me know if you need this. He is in Spring Valley.
-
thank you. I think I might have found 1 though
-
black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow,you know they made that song about you foo.pull your motor and get a pump that tx needs to get wet
-
In the works carnal
-
pump is in >:D
-
so i decided to paint this thaaaaang, finally came up some good ideas on wut to do..........sanding and glass work this week hopefully. plan is to take nxt friday off of work and go to town.
-
slow progress
-
more progress. no paint today like i planned. the glittery blue under the paint is funky. bass boat style. tomorrow we are going to prep the bottom, and build some kind of cart to wheel it around on. transom is solid now reinforced from top of hull to bottom. gonna fill some holes where extra gauges and things were, then primer etc. she is coming along. any ideas on a paint scheme ?
-
ger er done
-
if you have ideas I can take pics of the boat that you send me and photoshop different paint ideas so you can see it before you actually paint it. Lookin good so far!!!!
-
niiiice. are you gonna cap the rails?
-
more progress. cart is built, now work on the bottom begins....plan is to paint next saturday :screwy:
-
you are going to town their - when you are finished you should bring it up to cfw for fathers day
-
where is cfw?
-

So are you going Top Fuel Dragster?
I see that you are mocking up the VW drivers capsul.
;D
-
Screw cfw bring that thing out to big river fathers day weekend. You and lupo need to make one of our trips
-
not sure about the bug capsule idea :sly: my buddy does custom bugs, buss's, and Porsche's so he has all kinds of stuff around the shop... the scjb father's day float would be cool. i'm sure loooops would dig the idea.. a lot of kids, family, etc? or party time? we were planning to go to squaw lake??? we will see what's up
-
camp far west is in northern cal - 8 hr crive from socal
-
The fathers day float is family oriented kinda but we still party pretty damn hard. Lets just say there's pics of Kris and I passed out in the middle of the street walking back from the bar.

Somebody's got some 'splainin' to do. I don't remember seeing "that" kinda coverage of the SCJB team in action. What's up with that?
-
Ray - keep it on topic. enough with the cow pics. it had its time, lets just let it be a memory.

Ya we were whatching stars lol ans passed out if it wasn't for Ashley we probably wouldn't have made it back to the hotel. Sorry tard haha
-
almost ready for paint, a lil lovin on the bottom and some minor sanding and we are good to go.... blast off on sat hopefully :o
-
so we put her in the booth to paint, got sealer on, then base coat but with the white we noticed some wavy lines on the side where the top and bottom meet. so needs more lovin there. called of the rest of the process to get it right.
-
the solid white did look pretty nice
-
so the painting has taken a lot longer than i thought it would... my first time doing this kind of project, and my buddy's as well. so trial and error was the name of the game. here are some pictures up to date... all that is left is some wet sanding and buffing. i was going to do different designs, but like i said.....trial and error. would of been a royal pain in the arse :screwy: i do dig it though... y'all like?
-
it6 looks great! but the widows peak, i really like that touch :thumbup: :thumbup:...definately not something you see everyday, congrats! :beer:
