Saw you working on it work for that city looks good

[The Chaz]

Nice work.  No complaints from the neighbors about the overspray or smell?

[maddogg20]

neighbor on the left is my best friend, lol i park my truck in his driveway, adn the guy on the right i hooked him up big time on an AC system for his house so hes very tolerant lol. I just let him know so he can move his cars.

This hull and the seating config look similar to the 18' Carribean's like I had and Skip has...  You're on a roll gettin her done.

[jrork]

That looks really good. Keep it up.

PS.  Do me a favor and look into getting a respirator instead of that mask. I don't know what you are planning on spraying but what youre wearing prolly isnt helping much (though spraying outside certainly helps).

If you go with Urethanes, the fumes will phuck you up (don't ask me how I know). 

[maddogg20]

Update my friends :-)

heres the trailer redone...





And heres the boat  Just finished the paint today.




What you think? :-)

Making some serious progress (unlike some of our other members   )

Good job, and keep the updates coming.

[maddogg20]

prepping and fixing that stupid trailer took soo much damn time, I had to reweld all the joints, add a bunch of structural steel to it, rewire the entire thing and replace the lights, but its sooo worth it. :-)
