I drove the V home from Oregon on Sunday with the new Suzuki 140 in place. All I can say is that I know how those husbands feel on "Extreme Make Over" when they first see their wife after a boob job, face lift and liposuction. I'm SURE that I had the same expression on my face anyway. It looked a little like this-> ;D

Tuna, what kind of bottom paint you use. I like the high gloss finish on her. ;)
Oh yeah, nice tee shirt. ;)

Mike thats actually not bottom paint. I got carried away when I painted the cockpit. I taped off the chines and bottom portion of the transom and gave 'em a fresh coat of paint. The deck is the same color of blue Petit topside paint.

Tuna, may have to get up with ya on the painting topic.
As far as spraying or rolling. Been looking at spray guns on ebay. Thought about a quick allgrip paint job on the hull. Never played with a spray gun before, but plenty of spray cans when I was a juvenile. ::) ::) ::)

Tuna - that is an awesome motor. Johnnyzuki would be my choice of 4 stroke as well if I were to go to a 4.

I know you are happy as a lark....will be even happier when you see that 5-6mpg burn rate!

BTW - WE ALL HATE YOU!! (execpt RB - who is your equal : WE HATE HIM TOO ;D)

Hammer, I have the cheapest spray gun in the world. It came with a set of air tools that I got on sale at an auto parts store after I bought a small compressor. Despite the poor quality it did a reasonably good job. I don't figure that I'll be doing a lot of painting. If I was going to do it over again I go to the local pawn shop where there are 4 or 5 better quality air guns sitting on the shelf at a good price.

Blue, I love you guys too. BTW the shirts arrived yesterday. Before I opened the box from Ches I told my wife that I had ordered a T and a sweatshirt. She immediately asked if she could wear my sweatshirt and I said "NO!" She actually looked a little hurt because I was obviously serious. Then I opened the box and said with a smile "You can wear your own sweatshirt" and handed her the one I had ordered for her.

It was good night ;)

Tuna.....I know it was a long road to this point but your V is looking so sweet with the nice paint and the sweeeeet new Suzuki motor. I like the little matching blue fish emlem behind the helm seat.....
