painted my boat

[Schiada Flatty]

well I painted my boat on the weekend. I was going to go all viper red but decided on doing some graphics. I picked the colours out and held all the colour chips together and after 4 hours of pre masking i had it done.

when I was done with the 3 layers of clear I was having second thoughts.
every body at work that seen it thinks it looks awesome but id like some schiada boaters opinion.

I like it. Simple and very clean looking. Good work.

Hey that looks nice, good job dude sometimes less is more :thumbsup. Kinda of reminds me of the graphics on the ZZ TOP '34 3 window coupe on the album cover.

looks very similar to this schiada but less, looks good in my opinion

I really like the look you did a great job I like clean simple lines and it is perfect in my opinion. I wish I could paint like that I am envious.

thank you...as far as rigging im keeping the fe and building a stringer frame. And Im changing out the 9 brass strut and fins for a 8* steel strut and a drop through fin. Oh and i installed a blast plate and have a 10' steering post so ill be sittin back by the engine.

Wow is right, that looks fantastic. Did you put new stringers/floor in your boat or just rework what you had, again that looks outstanding keep up the great work.:thumbsup

 

[RyanPartridge]

[Raycer]

Looks great! Keep the pics commin!

 

[rivergames]

Everything looks really good. :thumbsup

If I was you though, I would change those little turnbuckles to new ones with a little more beef on them. I wouldn't want to see your nice cav plates get dinged up from broken turnbuckles :grumble:

thanks for the complements everyone! Yup I changed all the old rotten stringers and floor for new stuff. If I knew how much work it was going to be it would have had a date with the sawzall haha. But its going to be worth it in the end and the boat should last another 40 years!
