I still have your motor Gary...
Did some horse trading and now have these tank straps - gonna have them polished on the one side that faces out and then line them with some sort of two sided tape that will protect the tanks which will be powdercoated. The black one was the only one I had left that wasn't falling apart and we used as the template.

I will keep that in mind Jim! I talked to Rick and he said they shot some gel but this thing is moving so slow.....I don't make it by Ricks shop as much as its not my territory anymore.....maybe someone can swing by and see if my boat has some new gel on it? The motor that came out of it has been rebuilt and is available for sale too from the guy who built the trailer....
Gary a lot of the old pics in this thread are dissapearing. Are you uploading them directly to RDP?
Boat looks GOOD BTW.

Dave, I bought this boat in 2010.....I think all the pics were direct to RDP but the site has changed a few times in the process so I think that may have kicked pictures out?
Looking forward to getting this boat rigged and on the water....
Putting an offer in on an investment property - anyone want this? New triple axle trailer, all new gel and bilge, rebuilt and polished casale v-drive, fresh rebuilt and polished turbo 400 with reverse pattern. Have all rigging except steering, interior and a motor. My loss..... $20K. Boat still getting gelled but will be PIF if it sells.
Wow what a difference!! I went and seen it when it was in the back yard and it was just out in the open in the dirt!!! This place looks like its doing nice work and in a timely fashion!!!!Had to pull it out of the other shop as I could not get a return call, text etc....plus it was moved and was sitting outside which I was not happy about it. Sadly a nice ding in the paint on the trailer as well..... Going to cost me a bunch of extra $$$ as well but after 4 years it was time to get this thing wrapped up! This guy has had it 3 weeks and its almost done....

Looks good Gary! I can't tell from the pic, is the non-skid still on the deck or is it gone?
Who is finishing the gel?

The guy operates out of So Cal Speed and Marine. Great at getting back to me with progress information. And he banged it out in a few weeks. Meeting Monday to discuss the inside and how the gel will look in their.
Gary I tried replying to your PM but it says your box is full. Give me a call 818-445-6715 Marc
Still bummed how bad the other shop scratched the trailer but will fix that once boat is all done....Saw it in person yesterday and it turned out amazing....the inside is next and will be the red, blue and gray all through the inside up to the bulkhead.

Looks great[emoji106] I had the same experience as you with the other shop. Ironically I heard on multi own occasions my situation was an isolated event. Yet I kept hearing similar stories. [emoji107]
Looking good Gary. [emoji106]🏻
Gonna be beautiful. (Is beautiful). Is it going to be a keeper or are you still trying to sell her?
I just saw your boat and its amazing! We dropped off ours since its next in line for a makeover. Daves 20' is also a work of art. No sure how either one of you are going to manage to get inside without padded booties. Can't wait to see how ours turns out.
