$2000.00 to shoot a boat? [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Must be the New England thriftyness but thats outta control. I painted my 20' sceptre in about and hour in a half total 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of finish and it came out great. I used a BINKS model 18 conventonal gun and a 2 quart pressue cup thinned the paint 15% 65 degrees both days I painted 220 sand inbetween coats looks beeter than most new gel coated boats but you need to remmber there is all kind of danger lurking I.E trailers rocks snags so how much effort is it really worth to get that show qaulity paint job anyway?

HA ITDAN
I’M SURPRISED YOU ARE ABLE TO TYPE ON THE KEYBOARD FOR A WEEK AFTER SANDING OFF THE PAINT FROM THAT OR QUID POSITION. I RUINED MY SHOULDERS WHEN I WAS A KID PLAYING FOOTBALL AND NOW WHEN I WORK OVER MY HEAD I PAY THE PRICE. I RE GEL COATED THE BOTTOM OF THE BOAT AFTER REMOVING THE BOTTOM PAINT AND AFTER ONE YEAR I STILL HAVEN’T SANDED IT SMOOTH. I WILL BE DOING THAT JOB THIS SUMMER THOUGH AND AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. GOOD LUCK.

Hey Finster.. Did you call Youngs Fiberglass in Marmora? Jeff H used them and the boat looked great

Don, I called this guy Joe recommended and he said he'd shoot it for $250, can't really beat that unless he does a shitty job.

Just got back in from fishing in the rain. Catching bules up to 5lbs. with the flyrod, too much fun.
Waters still too cold for good fluking.
