Do you or the LHS have any silver pinstripe Jerry?I wanted to say red,maybe on the sides along the silver but 1/8th of white then a thin (1/16) stripe along the deck would set it off.If you can Great Planes has Kwik Stripe that works awesome and is in any colour and many different silver/aluminum metallics.

i was astauly useing a silver pinstipe from the auto parts store to tape off everything but im out, looks like ill have to go back to the APS for some more and im out of the blue painters tape too, red!!! What do you think about a deep purple where the gray is,?Comment

Deep purple sounds better Jerry.Sometimes before I get my first coffee,well you know...Comment

thats wright '' I NO'' if i dont have it i might as well stay in bed, hahaha.. so i was thinking the purple and maybe to seperate it from the black maybe a thin yellow pinstraipe or something like that, i shouldnt have done the green, it makes it hard to clash with other colors!! Ill have to look back at my pics to refresh my thinking..Comment

By looking at my pics maybe a gold pinstripe or bright orange??? not yellow.Comment

Guys - I wanna get your opinion on something. Looking at the funboat from the previous page, the black windshield could easily represent a sealed cabin, right?
Would it best serve the funboat concept if it would be an open canopy with some drivers? If so, what's the best color to represent the glass of the windshield?Comment

Hay those boats have such a high body,, i got one for ya how about cutting it down, kinda hard to explain my thoughts but imagin the body line going around the hull can you cut the top half off making the body lower but then the motor would look like its sitting up high,, i dont no..PS Mac pm me your PP addy so i can get one of those bad azz MG Turbine hatchs bud...

Our gas guru master opluna suggested that - he did that mod on one of his boats before.Hay those boats have such a high body,, i got one for ya how about cutting it down, kinda hard to explain my thoughts but imagin the body line going around the hull can you cut the top half off making the body lower but then the motor would look like its sitting up high,, i dont no..PS Mac pm me your PP addy so i can get one of those bad azz MG Turbine hatchs bud...
The freeboard is tapered, so cutting a section all around will make the top half bigger and will have an overhang. Its gonna be like a "shoebox" construction boat - where the top half is larger than the bottom half so when both are mated - it looks similar to a shoebox.
Its an extensive work, but maybe down the road - for now its merely a funboat and stock.
PM sent on the PP addy bud! :)Comment
