But it looks so good! I like the upper stern in red, the shiny parts will contrast nicely.

So the compressor was unplugged and you didn't know it? and the hardener's shorter incubation time just made matters worse?

the setback sucks but I'm sure you'll make it right! The actual color is absolutely stunning!

I think the red will look GREAT when you get her all put back together.

Sorry to hear about that Glen, but she sure looks good in red.

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

i hear that aluminum block Z06 motor calling your boat's name......"Glen, you KNOW you want me. 500 horsepower would make that 800 lbs of tin get up and MOOOVE. think of the Canadian hockey team, Glen....you want to live up to their standards. you'd have that guy somewhere south of the border REALLY singin "O Canada" when you hit him with a roostertail from that far away....." :evil:

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

Thanks everyone, hoping I kicked Murphy to the curb.
B2 I think down deep in the back of your mind there a Polished red high powered sporty looking StarCraft just waiting to spring out!! I wouldn't be surprised to see it as your new project, once the Holiner is complete and you are all moved to your new digs.

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

Very nice. That red enhances that sleek look and certainly evokes the image of speed.

Nice lookin paint. I saw earlier in your thread that you got an electric bow mount. Do you have plans for a casting chair on
the reinforced bow deck??

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

There has to be something to keep us in check when we start thinking we're the bomb. :facepalm:

She's going to be a head turner that's for sure! :encouragement:

Thanks Fog, no seat on the deck, the bow mount is wireless control.

Thanks H2O

Murphy's still here went out to the hanger this morning and she was just above freezing, furnace quit and I don't have a ladder to reach it, so now more money.

At least you are well insulated--below freezing is no good for all those restoration chemicals And polar vortex-below freezing is even hard on wobbly pops

There's always the tractor bucket to reach it :facepalm:
