IF you install a 60hp big foot merc... drop the boat in the water.. (in Jamacia of all places..) and watch from the inclosed flybridge Hatteras and see (4) guys pull around a 5th guy and roll the boat over in a turn... you have to admit it is not a water ski boat!!!
I know 90 % of a good successful paint job is preparation and I know you do the prep work better than most. But I have to tell you about a short cut I learned concerning painting patterned non skid. It doesnt need much explanation after I learned of it. I felt stupid for not thinking of it? Soda Blast the nonskid. I have seen it work! I know, its a big short cut and it sounds to easy? Just think about not sanding all that texture down. Also I have a supplier for what I thought was the best and only product for transoms and decks? Coosa board is not the only product. Apparently Penske Composites was there before Coosa? The price is right and the stocking supplier is in what I considder the edge of south jersey and its not Mahogany thank goodness. I will pm you the details. And heres to the prettiest whaler I ever seen.
