Thats pretty much my plan.. I want to finish the top and have it in primer.. Then flip her, paint the bottom and have that finished.. then flip her back up to do the paint on top..

Finished stripping all the old crap off, block sanded the primer that was underneath it, did the body work and put 2 galllons of polyester primer on her ( feather fill G2)




After i finished the top i flipped her over and went back at it..









Just finished spraying the trialer !! Glossy black .. its like a mirror  :)...

I like it... As far as the black V goes. paint it the same color green as the flames, it would look pretty sick

Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

Ran into a lil problem..

My hand hole cover doesnt completely come all the way out of the transom  :banghead: ... Im in the middle of making my transom plates and just noticed this.. Has anyone else ran into this problem or anyone have any suggestions ?  or maybe even some pics of one that has this same issue ...

If it were my boat I would cut the transom out to clear and build a recess in the top n weld it in to seal that section further forward on the pump.  Only problem is, unless you get crafty and do some flange work inside the recess the plates will have to be split horizontally instead of vertical.

Got the block sitting in her  ;D   




Went ahead and made the pillow blocks, material cost was $14 dollars  :thumbup: and Kevin (sandeggo) has been cool enough to help me out with all my Alum welds so far.. He just picked  these up today to go weld em up for me   ^-^
