This is a 44" x 12.5" dv sold by expresscraft and custom painted by Tom's airbrush expert. I picked it up for $200:w00t::flammes-09: plus actual shipping!!!!!!

Not sure I have ever made a better buy on a boat.

You can buy the hull in white right now from Expresscraft in white only for $125 plus shipping:w00t:
No doubt the best dv hull buy I have ever seen.

It is not on his website but I can give u his number if u want to call. He only has 6 at this price and it does include the cowl. No damage, second runs, etc all 6 r first rate.

No you cant get that stuff at auto zone. Its BASF clearcoat. That was the first boat that I painted many years ago and it set on a shelf at expresscraft collecting dust. Tom has been cleaning shop so we sold it. The paint is a candy blue over silver base with layered candies to make some graphics in the blue theres various airbrush colors as well as some candy orange and a pearl green over the yellow. Im not sure what you may have used one your boat but a good clearcoat is going to come from an auto paint store. One that isnt to bad and is sold in smaller amounts is Limco 4100. use the medium hardener which they can help you out with and the medium reducer. If you arent that great at painting then use the fast stuff and pour it on pretty wet then let it sit for a bit between each coat and hit it again. this stuff lays out pretty nice and a quart kit should only be around 60 bucks. but that should paint a couple of boats. Or I have some great ideas for painting your boat. Its kinda like something from mad max. hope this helps....

No it is a automotive paint store item. You will need the clearcoat, catalyst, and special thinner for it. There r several brands, this one was done with PPG>

The clearcoat on that boat isnt PPG. I painted it. and I dont use that stuff. I use House of kolor and BASF and thats BASF DC-92 clearcoat. and thats also not wet sanded and buffed. The LIMCO clear I was reffering to earlier is a cheaper BASF clear. But still BASF.
