    Yeah nice work Hydro, you should talk a little more about your spraying experiences.

    Your shop looks likes it big enough to have a seperate spray booth. How long have you been at it?

    Anyway were here,


    Good Job

    The state of the business: boatbuilding

    :) :p So, are we all going to get rich painting and building boats now?????
    It seems like there are about a million boats for sale; just wondering if I should wait on launching my "starter Yacht" building company. Ya know, something along the lines of a 38 ft, sunseeker....kinda thing. Maybe I should just get that silverton in Hazlet and leave it at that????

    No seriously Nice work. Is that all awlgrip? (even the the stripe work).

    I heard awlgrip has a tendency to creep. I guess yousolved that problem.
