I too got bit by the bad majic primer.. thanks for discussing it in the video. I cant wait to she this girl on the water and your splash smile!!

Thanks Corj i really appreciate your kind words. You were a huge inspiration. I cant wait either!!!! hopefully the cap will be painted soon then I'll be super close to float testing.... stay tuned

[Goldie627]

Looks really nice.....went back to 2013 to catch up.

i know right :joyous: three years in the making, i must be crazy!

 

[Goldie627]

Great job Goldie ..... luv the color combination. Can't wait to see the splash video.

thanks 89R, i just hope the white cap will tie in with the light gry, grey and black. I did the bunks grey and i dont like it so ill be redoing the bunks with black carpet. Im really thinking about a black bimini top with a fat rally stripe. I think corj has one.

As much labor as you have in it, that deserves a REALLY good bottle of champagne.

Then that settles it.... no night train express.... no boones farm strawberry hill..... no MD 20/20..... no wild irish rose....

If I was in California is bring it. Hauled my boat over there mid July. Tried to fish Monterey bay, was too rough. Visited my parents and took my son so he could share his 16th birthday with them and fish Monterey. Was fun trip but wasted hauling the boat that far. California has changed. They wouldn't let me fish San Luis Reservoir because my outdrive dribbled a little water when I lowered it for inspection. Oh well.

Goldie, your paint work is golden! Beautiful stuff my man. Good too see some updates from you. I just recently finished painting my outdrive, and man that was a chore. Came out real nice tho after cutting and buffing. I have a new appreciation for painting, quite a learning curve for sure. That little light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter! Keep at it!

I just finished reading this thread Goldie your work is amazing. Where's the update I wanna see what's next. It like reading a good book but I'm missing the last chapter.

 

[Goldie627]

Before I do anything, I want to say PEACE, HAPPINESS & LOVE to all my iboats family.... I've missed you all!

The bow floor was cracked and the previous owners put a board under the floor to hold it up....

 

[Goldie627]

Did somebody say they had an extra tyvex suit???

 

[Goldie627]

Not bad for a beginner, other than my Jumbo fillets I was very pleased.

 

[Goldie627]

Ok, enough walking down memory lane

 

[Goldie627]

Just a lil update, please excuse the hanging wires, I'm currently doing electrical work...

 

[Goldie627]

[Goldie627]
