That looks awesome Marc!

Looks great!

 

[HighVoltage329]

The level of detail on your boat is killer :thumbup:

 

[SFV2RVR]

Thanks! I'm excited to finally see it almost done.

 

[bump]

Moreso after watching you do it all. Just so impressed and jealous I reckon.

 

[lIQUIDATEDdAMAGES]

Agreed. This one is a piece of art. One of my dads friends had a white and yellow 21 rc when we started going to the river named "rude awakening" and since then that's all I've wanted. Love the white and yellow

Marc, be careful with the sun reflecting off the chrome flame arrestors. Bill put the grey covering like what is on your seat on the underside of my hatch. With the hatch raised on the day beach the sun reflected off the chrome and caused the covering to burn. :yikes Not sure how it will affect the gel, but I would be careful. I had spoken with Bill and Scott a while ago about doing something else on the underside. Just haven't had time to get out there. Yours came out beautiful!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to keep an eye on it. 👍

Making a new bezel for the hatch switch. Drawing up the program and letting some chips fly!

Where are you going to mount that switch ?

 

[tony]

Mark your shit is off the hook!!!

 

[SFV2RVR]

Where are you going to mount that switch ?

I already had a switch bezel mounted on the drivers side gunnel when I had the old hatch on there. Just wanted a single switch instead of dual (hatch and elec. cav plates). Like I had it before when my cav plates were electric. Made it out of stainless too!

 

[WESTERNAERO]

You spelled it wrong.........

You mean YOU spelled it wrong! Thanks again. It came out badass!

I'm already making plans to take my 21 back apart after the season to fix a couple of things! Oh....and then there's the mini that I've already been spending too much money on. The good side of it, is that it's going to smoke the tits off every mini out there including Johnson's!

Baller..... Lol

You mind as well re gel the mini to match your 21 now. If something as little as a blue MSD box bugged ya, I can't imagine you not having matching boats !

The 10' is not getting re-gelled. My new 12' will be matching!

Jim, I saw it last weekend. He should hold out for DS! Beautiful!! I spent an hour looking at his boat. The detail is amazing and not represented well in the pictures.

Jim, I havn't been over to Arko to see the finished product yet. I will be going there tomorrow to pick it up hopefully and get it ready for desert storm.

Tight Dude!

No matter how many times you look at this boat/trailer combo, it never gets old. Definitely one of the nicest out there.

 

[Andy01]

That picture on the water looks bad ass, but it looks COLD! Did you buy a Tahoe to leave out there?
