          Where are you located Doug? I'm very interested in getting a custom job on a 37" CF hull I have. The first one is mine. The second is one I'd like to mimick.

          Any idea on cost? If your close enough to me (I'm in Buffalo, N.Y.) I would consider shipping to you and getting her done. Let me know what you think, JJ.

            I will one up that one. If you have me do it I will paint the realistic flames over top of the carbon fiber that you have. So you will see the carbon fiber under the flames, and to make it look even more realistic I will make it look as if there are a few ripped open spots in the carbon and flames are coming out of that. You electric guys get that from time to time dont you? I live in Rockledge Fl. your boat would be under 60 bucks I think to ship here.

              I like the "one up"! I think ripped would look awesome Along with the CF showing, Think about it and let me know an about average price. I'll have to start saving my pennies again!

                Hey Doug, not to get off topic, but I have another 37" CF Cat that I have sealed my decals in with 2 part epoxy from Illstreet.com. The end result was good, but I have some ripples in the finish I'd like to smoothen out. Do you have any suggestions on wet sanding epoxy? Is it possible? I'm worried about heating up the epoxy to the point of softening it and ruining it. Should I try to add another coat to fill it in? Any suggestions are more than welcome!

                  Without seeing what you have going on its hard to say what step to start with but, If its just a little bit of material wave then you can use a stiff smooth block and wet sand with 1500-2000 and flatten it out like you want and then buff with a rubbing compound. you can buff by hand but of course it will take longer. hope this helps.

                              Thanks brushless I appreciate it, I have to now this is what Im doing for a living so no more Krylon and finger paint... That hull is an Expresscraft c-54 (54inchs) they are great running boats. the BOMBA has had good luck with running them in there races. I think right now its a GTX and a C-54 that are grabbing up the top honors. I will take some pics of its inside when I go back up to expresscraft here in the next few days...
