Atleast you sold yours for something worth it. I would never sell mine to use for a boat project! It wouldn't be enough money anyways!

No Marko were not talking about your ancient old bones!

Ha! No shit!

If/when the biz becomes profitable it can be decided if it was worth it.

[Cole Trickle]

Whats the black spray paint on the sides for?

 

[SFV2RVR]

Whats the black spray paint on the sides for?

They spray that black paint as a guide coat so that when they sand it you will be able to tell where the high and low spots are. When it's finished it will be as close to perfect without any ripples down the side.

Haha. I think that was the booze talking smack! I don't really remember the last part of Saturday night. It was one of those mornings where you wake up and say wtf happened? I'm pretty sure it was a good time though!

Are you keeping the hatch ?

 

[Hallett]

[LV R SCHIADA'S]

Nice !!!! :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

SchiadaStan has also been awesome in helping me gather parts, and helping me fabricate aluminum parts needed for the rigging. As of right now I think im gonna ditch the hatch and run 4 buckets and leave the entire center floor section open. Not sure if im gonna like it, so im going to save my rear bench and hatch so I can install them if needed.

 

[Marko]

Shit! Sounds like I missed some bench racing and drinkin! This fukin sucks!

[420HOA]

Damn, I didnt know its been out of the water that long. Maybe we'll all make the regatta this year. :thumbsup

 

[tony]

I hope it gets done in time the guy who's doing my rigging is doing two other schiadas right now I may have to find someone else? I hope this doesn't drag on for three years it's been 8 months and that seems forever.

 

[420HOA]

Whos doing the rigging ?

 

[SFV2RVR]

New imco tanks got gel coated and buffed out today.

 

[420HOA]

Gel coated or powder coated ? :thumbsup
What holds them in ? :thumbsup
How many gallons ? :blah::blah::blah:

 

[SFV2RVR]

Gel coated or powder coated ? :thumbsup

How many gallons ? :blah::blah::blah:

Gel coated the same color as the inside of the boat. I have a bulkhead in the front that they will be mounted to, and I'm using the same strap as you in the back of the boat. These tanks are only 28gal a side. How much gas do I need to hold anyways when the boat just wants to go to foxs?

 

[LV R SCHIADA'S]

The lighter the quicker :thumbsup:thumbsup, 5lbs per gallon (roughly)

 

[Marko]

Those turned out NICE! :thumbsup

 

[Riverbottom]

Do you know what they use for an adhesion promoter to get a polystyrene resin product stick to an aluminium tank ?

 

[420HOA]

Im still wondering myself

 

[SFV2RVR]

I have no idea. Stan at Schiada has been gel coating tanks in some of the recent boats built and said he hasn't had any problems.

 

[SFV2RVR]

Tanks gel coated and installed.

 

[420HOA]

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

 

[tony]

Marc you have a bad ass boat right there great colors.

 

[vdcruiser]

Tanks and boat, look great. Is there an advantage to gel coat over powder coat?

 

[schiadastan]

Do you know what they use for an adhesion promoter to get a polystyrene resin product stick to an aluminium tank ?

there are things we have to do to the tanks before gel if not it well crack and fall off the tanks. Some things we do here that we dont post on the boards. powder paint over gel coat. powder is a lot more easy to do, and cost a lot less. With gel if you are doing the inside of the boat you can get a better match on the tanks if they dont have powder to match. If you can use powder paint do it and dont use gel.

 

[SFV2RVR]

Boat fitted on the new triple axle for the first time. Props to Mike Livingston at Schiada for building me one bad ass motherf'r!

 

[AZBrummett21]

Wow! Very Nice...
