Very cool decals, I'd throw something on the sides, maybe it's just my preference but you need to off set the heavy focus on the skulls...aka put punisher or evil rc or something cool on the side. Then again, I'm a sucker for the original MG decals

[onegreenray]

i was thinking something for the sides as well. I'll have to see what i can come up with.

i agree i cant wit to get my geico but im not a fan of the lizard i love the punisher though its a cool theme but i wont steal ur idea lol if only i could airbrush i would do a predator or somethin anyways nice work

[onegreenray]

i am not like that i got the punisher decal off ebay. feel free to use the same idea if you want.

[shannon87]

no worries man thats cool but i would no i got it from someone else lol i might get a predator graphic done or somethin as couldnt get somethin like that airbrushed it would cost heaps lol

Looks good, but I'm with jac. I couldn't stand to see that bright ass boat with out the lizard on the deck. If I were going to do that I would paint the boat a different color and go with a different theme. If I can ever get my hands on a bare hull I will do just that. Maybe do the black to red fade of the Bud Select boat. I love that paint scheme.

[shannon87]

yer i would definatly change the colour thats not a bad colour scheme but i basically want to do somethin that no one else has i think a predator theme should do the trick but the only problem is it wont be very bright and possibly a bit hard to see

[onegreenray]

i have the apparition for the wife. the Budweiser select paint job looks cool but it hard to see on the water. this spring i have been told i need to paint it a different color for her.

the red to black scheme is a cool look though. the predator theme sounds cool would love to see it if you do it.

[shannon87]

wow wish my misses was into boats she only likes helis and planes i suppose some rc addiction is better than none and yer i would have to get the predator as a wrap but i have no idea what colour to do the boat maybe an off silver gray or pale silver blue as i have seen backrounds with the predator in roughly those colours such as the AvP r poster or somethin like this http://www.wallpaperbase.com/wallpapers/movie/alienvspredator/alien_vs_predator_2.jpg

I am thinking about buying a miss gieco and putting my mom's site friendmaker.biz in black or dark blue on the side and something different (mabye our logo) on the top. Was it easy to take the geico decals off? I read this post about how each decal left an outline on the hull:

For mine, I had to go with a whole new paint job.

[ron1950]

what kind of paint did u use on it?

[onegreenray]

pics?

[small=breakable]

Yeah pics would be great. I am glad others have already done this.

[ron1950]

pics boy....pics

Same thing happened with mine! Kind of pisses me off:doh: Now i'm stuck with this theme. Proboat should have let the paint cure and let the customer attach the stickers. Thats what you get when your in a hurry!!!! Looks like another F##@ up on Proboats Part. Didn't really want to repaint the whole thing but what the heck I have to paint my 53" skater this spring.

[JackBlack26]

Really? How is this PB's f-up? You knew th boat was themed as the Miss Geico. If you wanted to do you own theme you should of bought one of the many bare, white hulls out there an built your own from scratch. I don't think their intent was for people to buy the boat and take the stickers off. It's a replica licensed boat.

[small=breakable]

They probably did it on purpose. Since they made a contract with geico, they might have made part of it that the boat couldn't be easily changed so that geico wouldn't get cheated. It is a guess but a possible one.

[SANTAVY1]

The f-up was putting the stickers on to early before the paint cured!!!! So when you need to put new stickers on because the old ones start to peel or got scratched, you better be pretty good and get exact fit or it will look like crap. Yes I knew the boat was themed with stickers thinking OK I can change them in the future when I get tired of them, but no can do now!
