Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

I might drag mine down there this winter and let you paint it for me.

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

Cant do without her during the summer, maybe we can work something out for the spring.

How long and how much $ do you think it would take to sand and paint a V 20. I'm just kicking around the idea now but one day I might get serious and do it.

You know like a few to many beers and the next thing you know theres a tatoo on your arm. ;D

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

not sure i can tell more when i paint my V20 this spring

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

Hey, I just noticed the boat doesn't have the windshields installed. Do you have a set or are you going to make them yourself ::)

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

well i had planned to install them today and to put the new rubrail on the boat but no time tomorrow though i hope.

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

Of course, you mean after Church--right ::)

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

sorry BGA i missed it i slept in till 11 am then got to work on the 21 first thing an issue the old rub rail screws were 10 X 1" SS oval heads so i hunted around and went to ACE Hardware and bought a couple boxes of 10 X 2" screws for $13.67 a box, then layed a nice bead of 5200 and filled the gap between the cap and hull.got the rub rail out of the yard and started the stretching of the installation. the rub rail i layed out in the yard to get hott 2 days ago and left there. the insert put in the freezer so it would shrink. well we installed the rub rail and 120 screws later done then got the insert out and just pushed it in with no stretching so that way it won't shrink later on the boat a trick my Parker guy told me ;D Here's the pics of the rub rail installed see below isn't she a beauty. man such a difference.

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

Looking good Skools! 8)

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

thanks so much there Stink, thought everyone for got me :( So what do you think about the blue rub rail for the V20? it has the light gray insert. Hey did Racer get his V painted this weekend?

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

I think it would look good.

Racer called me about it, but I dont know that he is willing to put in the time its really gona take to do it right. :-/


We will see....should hear from him again soon. ::)

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

Nice!

Another fine job there Skools.

I think the blue insert might look good depending on what color you paint the boat or whether or not yot you put bottom paint and the color you choose for it.

Hey, what's up with Racer? How come we haven't seen him on the forum for a while?

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

well he was run off and someone here didn't like him and called him stupid several times so he left, i sure miss our Racer he kept things running nicely didn't he.

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

UMM................ NO!!

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

Skools...thanks for the great pix!!...21 lookin' REEL good, there, Bro 8) ... she's on the home-stretch now ... oughtta be finished up pretty soon? ... when you think ready to go?...


If you're fixin' up the "V" for sale, stay w/black rub-rail...more universal appeal...JMHO ... ;) ...

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

Skools, I'm very sorry to hear this. I did appreciate his contributions to the list.

It would be great if people could control their emotions and not be so sensitive when they discover others don't agree with their opinions. :-/ Pride can be a terrible thing.

If you have contact with him, please let him know that I asked about him and that he's missed.

Thanks.

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

LOL


Thanks there Reel, I was thinking blue cause it's already here plus would look better than the aluminum but you are right.




Will do Steve

Re: 21 Project Part 2 The Finish is Coming
 

well guys no pics but i started the motor today itwas crazy i hooked up the fuel lines, disconnected the VRO and put in some 40:1 premix and primed the bulb till tight then just thought since the motor has sat for 2 yrs i'll turn it over a bit without hitting the motor primer button and so i turned the key and the motor turned half turn and cranked scared me it started so fasti had the throttle and the shifter cables set dead on the money from the install, wow i was in shockall was perfect. she ran 30 to 45 mins with no hot spots or missing, that motor sounded so good made me wet lol. I let the motor sit about 2 hours in the hot sun and then turned the water back on hit key it fired right back up like a light switch. WOW i'm a happy boat Poppa *;D
