Fightercar Rivercat 32" carbon Bud Select
I traded my Mini Zonda back to kfxguy and struck a deal on his Fightercat Rivercat single motor 4S boat. Hoping to take it to the Flint Michigan speed trials this year and try to break a record. A boat this fast needs a proper paint job, not to mention it was just to hard to see on the water in raw carbon. A few shots as I was tearing it down:

I packed it up and shipped it out to my friend Nick Battiato at Vivid Image at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Nick painted one of his personal boats in the Bud Select Mystic race boat paint scheme and I fell in love with it the first time I saw it in person. Bright red seemed like a good choice for this boat. Nick only sent me one teaser pic during the process. It was a long wait, but well worth it in the end. I asked that the raw carbon show through instead of painting the front half black like the original boat. That added a lot of prep, clear, and buffing work, but it was going to make it unique for sure.
