Flipping a V-20
 

I just got done spraying a boat that belongs to a buddy of mine(not a V20), and it got me in the mood to get mine prepped and ready for paint.

Back to mine:
She is stripped,no tank or anything so she is as light as a V20 gets. Now is my opportunity to roll her over in an effort to get the bottom as slick as possible for painting. I have rolled many boats in the past, but not one this big. I am gonna get about 8 of my biggest buddies and go for it. Wish me luck?? What do you guys think...anybody ever rolled one?? ;D

I recommend removing the windshield before flipping :-X.

Dude, that sounds really, really scary :o

I wouldn't worry too much how the bottom looks. Paint it best you can on the trailer. Who's gonna see it anyway?

But, don't let me discourage you. I'm sure you probably know more about it than I do! It just seems like something could get broken (like bones and stuff).

Let us know how it turns out. Also, I wouldn't mind seeing pictures of that feat!
