[macojoe]

I want mine done too!! :'(

[msbhammer]

[lumberslinger178]

[C YENSEN]

if you are going to pay to have it soda blasted, why not leave her naked???

[charlie_the_tuna]

hey splinter, what'd ya hit the lottery?

[msbhammer]

Splinter. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[C YENSEN]

Hey Lumber,

I am no expert, but that thing seems to be hanging off the back of the trailer a little to far. I have the same Venture single axle trailer, and I moved the pulpit up about a foot closer to the front. Just MHO :-/

[msbhammer]

Noticed the same thing C.Y.

[C YENSEN]

you can see here.......slid my pulpit up to the front ;)

[msbhammer]

See what, the picture is cut in half. Cant see how far off your boat exstends off teh rear of the trailer. ???

[C YENSEN]

see how far I slid the pulpit up on the trailer ;)

[Blue_Runner]

Cy, he has a lighter motor than you :o :o :o :-*

[Airslot]

I think the issue is, it's not good to leave that much of the stern unsupported. Your bunks, rollers should be all the way to the stern, or at least darn close.

[macojoe]

I agree, but I went years like his and never had any issues.
But made sure I got it right whenI got th new trailer.

[lumberslinger178]

cy you can count on it ;D

[msbhammer]

You gonna under coat it with Interlux barrier coat before painting ?

[parishht]

Hey parih they want 25 dollars a foot , and Ill repaint it my self


Square or linear?

[macojoe]

paint wth gloss paint after, wax well and go faster!! ;)

[Airslot]

Linear ft.

[parishht]

$25 per linear ft really is not that bad,
20 x 25 = 500, well worth the agravation factor.

If it where square, that would be a different decision all together.

[reelapeelin]

paint wth gloss paint after, wax well and go faster!! ;)



...and burn less fuel ;) ... let 'em paint it for $500... ;D ...


Didja find yer rub-rail?? ... :D ...

Did you buy braided line for a rub rail? You must've had alot of money left over from your ETEC purchase. I used black nylon. I feel cheap. ;)

[Airslot]

Nice. The discoloration, is that where they went through the gelcoat?

[lumberslinger178]

hey air .... no thats just the very first layer of paint he said he didnt want to try to get it spotless cause then that would effect the gelcoat . the bottom is in perfect condition I wont have to do any repair ;D

[lumberslinger178]

we have to remember there was 20 layers of paint on there..........................

[Stinky_Hooker]

Man thats nice Lumber!

[reelapeelin]

That rub-rail was just the one I's thinkin' about on yours...w/the blue rope it'll REELY look sharp!!... ;) ...

[macojoe]

Gee you got to be small and limber to get under there ans blast!! Not to mention all the mud on the ground you crawling in!!

Looks good!!

[lumberslinger178]

mj the mud was from after he was done I rinsed the boat cause he said that if I didnt the dust would yellow an stain the glass........

[randlemanboater]

That is pretty amazing, well worth the price!

[lumberslinger178]

thats for sure I could not see myself under there sanding it...lol :-/

When I 1st looked at this pic, I thoght yer goin' HoverCraft on us ;D ...

[macojoe]

Can you image? How can they even see when they are doing it??

How long did it take him to do it??

[lumberslinger178]

it took him about 3 hrs from start to finish... he was a pretty big guy too...

[Stinky_Hooker]

Can you xplain to me whats going on in those pics? I am not familiar with "soda" blasting. I just assumed that it was a different blast material, but was essentially the same as sand blasting. Whats that big bag for? I'm confused. *???

Sorry for the dumb questions... :-/

[Mulv80]

I think the bag is to contain the paint thats blasted off. The EPA is pretty tuff on these guys especially when you working so close to the water.

So the guy is INSIDE there, blasting? :o

[reelapeelin]

Bag is for containment of particulate matter...byproduct of the process commonly referred to as "sody-blassin''.... ;D ...

[lumberslinger178]
