    1972 Checkmate MX-15 Rebuild

    Thanks Micky, I found a few more runs while pulling the tape, Ill have to wet sand and buff those out when it cures. I didn't have a fast reducer on hand for the temps today, so it's slow to dry. Hoping to start the accent stripes next week.

    1972 Checkmate MX-15 Rebuild

    So after week of rain, I was finally able to spray her. still got to go back out there and pull the tape, but it came out good. Couple of runs where the back seat bolsters will be attached on the inside corner, but fine.

    1996 Century Boats 1800 Center Console Refit and Modernization

    I'm leaning toward the MK Terrova 24v 54" or 60". The bow sits low in the water, like 24", so I don't need a real long leg, and I can't fit too many more batteries.

    1972 Checkmate MX-15 Rebuild

    I got the Snow White top coat paint in. The fairing is pretty much done, just have to re-tape everything again. I guess I'll get off my azz and shoot it this weekend, weather permitting.

    Nah, it's just stock Awlgrip "Island Turquoise"....It looks very turquise in sunlight, In dull light it looks more seafoam.

    Seeking advice on seemingly large hull/structural repair! Help please! 1979 Marquis Catalina.

    Flipping a boat is surely optional, but it does help dial in a hull, and makes things easier, but mostly beneficial to sport boats., plus the pics are cool ;)

    Adding ballast to the bow?

    A lot of 2 stroke to older 4 stroke conversions face that problem, the scuppers collect water. The newer 4 strokes weight similar to the old 2's. More flotation in a bracket helps, but turtling can still be a problem. Throw some sand bags in the bow, and see if it helps, but raising the stern...
