Denny..I emailed Pettit..lets see if they respond..after consideration..I am going to follow your lead on botom..

Chuck..I will take you up on your offer. email me with your telephone number at fdheld@bellsouth.net. Hopefully you are available this week after 5:30 PM sometime.(yes I have to work).and can make it up. I am going to call Tom this week for paint prices etc. ..hopefully you can come up and can give me some tips on my hullside finish too..here is my problem..
I have two coats of Easypoxy on hullsides already but I noticed some streaking from roller..mainly in front bow area. Looks ok .(but its bugging me!!)..might sand again and apply third coat..or sand all off (dont really want to!!!)..and bite the bullet and go with Tom's product and three step process

Need your opinion when you see it.

Here is one option for the bottom paint...black with white boot stripe...Any suggestions and ideas etc. appreciated.
I was going to continue the bottom paint top line even from stern to bow to keep in line with bootstripe..instead of having to tape waterline on bow bottom-Fred

are you going with bottom paint or just a black and are you going to do the seacraft bottom job

Matt...Thanks for your input!!!
I am going to just go with regular black bottom paint for now...might change though...debating costs and time...I want to get this thing in the water so I will not do the Seacraft bottom job at this point!!!!

That's the way I would go. It looks much better and, like you said, no waterline to tape off. Getting anxious?

Hey Evan,
My wife picked this blue out...not the right shade for me..but I too love the Blues/Blacks color combo!!!

Regarding painting lessons...I had a great 2 hour class meeting this evening with Capt Chuck (thanks for your time Capt.)and have decided to go with Signature Paint for all

. The Pettit just doesn't cut it for what I want to accomplish (very soft paint!!). SOOO starting over ...back to sanding and a ton of prep work...going to stick with some shade of blue though for hull sides..and a blue close enough that my wife won't say "what happened to my blue..blah blah blah etc. etc...!!!"

I'm assuming your wife does not have your CSC.com password????

You are a brave man!

Don,
Crap..I hope not...especially with the nanny comments (the nanny that is costing me an arm and a leg and is not at all attractive)
I delete all browsing history etc

but wait...she can type in classicseacraft.com....

Ha that's funny.....My wife would NEVER, and I mean NEVER log onto "That boring boat website". If I was Tiger Woods, I could have hid ALL my misstresses here and she would have NEVER found them. That's assuming I had any mistresses, but we all know that ALL of our money goes to SeaCraft's and associated parts, etc!!! LOL..
