Is that a stab at what I'm doing? Makeing the best of that I have at the moment. After next summer if I can get it to Baltimore where my father's shop is I will algrip it and prob do the upper haul also

What product are you using for paint?

That's just one coat I will put 4 or 5 on then buff it. It will come out like glass when it's done right

Hollywood wrote: Your project is looking just fine!

Agreed! Good motivation for someone who owns a Skier with a smashed deck!

Man you are fast !!!
You could tone-down the brightness of the white with a little "sand-beige" color mix.
It's looking really good.

If you checked the threads, the cracking was removed by the repair guy but I'm not so sure the prep and repairs were up to snuff. Boat was sold over a year ago, so it's no longer an issue for us.

Also really need a hook up on a windshield soon. If anyone know any body

I agree windshields are overrated… and mustangs are too small for them – that front deck is the only place for the ladies to lie down and sun themselves. Just make sure you put down a towel first so you don’t mess up the new paint job.

Still have like 2 more coats to put on then I think I'll be satisfied with. Still got to rewire the boat but that should only take me a few hours. Then slap a new carb on some hoses and see if she fiers up.

Jonathan,
At the rate you're getting it done, I'm surprised you're sleeping!! I'm impressed!

Thanks for the comments I'm trying my best here.... really wish I could have sprayed it but it was not in the cards. Just put another coat of paint on got one more to do tomorrow then paint is done. I don't know if I'm going to wet sand it and buff or not I'm prity happy with the results I'm getting now..... it looks 300 times better then when I picked it up...... going this weekend to grab a Rochester carb and a new electronic engnition..... found some cheep on crages list for sale just got to drive to mass to grab them.
