CONGRATS STRICK, SHE LOOKS GREAT!!

Great job Strick! If the boat's not going to be in the water all the time I'd leave the bottom white and just put the boot stripe, it looks awesome the way it is now.

I'd love to keep the bottom white. Here in California you cannot buy white bottom paint because of all the BS regulations. Any ideas on what I can use for a white paint. I would like to keep the boat in the water for 2- maybe 3 months in the fall during the fall run. I may have to make a run to Reno just to get the white bottom paint. Here are a couple pice of the float test just before I brought the boat to the shop for the once over.

Pettit has new bottom paint in 24 Cool Vivid Colors, Including White! I'm sure one of them would match

BTW: Stay away from the <font color="pink">"Flaming Pink"

Strick, she looks great, though I see a pretty good starboard list. Is that just from the motor cocked that way?
My Seavette has a simular list to it and it really doesn't matter which way the motor leans. I've always atributed it to the helm and batteries, but even then I'm not really sure.

Capt Chuck- I'd love to get that white bottom paint but they dont sell it in california.

Finster- Thanks. I'm hoping it's just the motor tilted that way. The hydraulic steering lines still need to be filled and purged so I was unable to straighten the motor. Both batteries are balanced on either side of the consel and there is no reason it should list other then the motor tilted. Hopefully I'll get the boat back from the shop by the end of next week.

Strick,
Wow . . . your boat looks good in the water. Must be a great feeling to have done.

I'll bet that the starboard list is from the engine tilt. Once you tilt the engine down or straighten it out . . . the list should go away.

Strick,

I'll try to see if I can get it in Florida, I've never asked, then I'll check to see if I can send it to you. How much would you need? I'll send you the prices also.

Strick,
She looks beautiful. You've done an impressive job, you should be really proud of the way it came out. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
