Default old to new paint job

Have had my boat built and rigged out for a while and haven't got it painted. Decided now was the time to get it painted and it looks fine!!!

Good looking rig, who built the boat and what'd the paint job run?

Nice! I installed hydro turf in my boat recently and love it. I put the flat grey. Stuff is very comfortable on the feet.

What size is the boat? Thinking about getting Eric to build my next boat. Want to put a 70hp on the back though.

I have an 18x48 with a 40 tohatsu TLDI. Top speed 39mph

For that size motor I would go 18x52. He would probably tell you the same thing. That's what he runs with his 40 tohatsu.

Easy now. Pump the brakes. Not saying he's not good, but Karl Styron ain't too shabby neither.

I don't know what a pad is.
But whatever you want he will do.
Customize it to your liking.
I did a 5ft front deck and 18in back deck.
His normal is 4ft and 16in

Wish I would have gone 20in back deck. I'm a big guy I can straddle that easy. But I love my rig. No regrets at all. It is solid and moves good on the water.
