well I started to paint

I got tired of waiting for the wind to stop so I painted today anyway. used a SEM self etching primer this morning then put this base color down this after noon. will have to make some stencils to do the patterns later.
I decided to leave this cage and stand black and was thing about leaving that full metal rake black but now I am having second thoughts and may paint the rake this same base color

Good job. I always like seeing peoples projects in progress.

well sometimes the pictures help make it seem like I actual did something

Are you gonna camo the hull?

 

[goldhunter_2]

painting has never been my strong suit but yes camo was my intention or maybe I should say hope :lol:

 

[frank w.]

simple you'll do great it's going to be sweet

 

[goldhunter_2]

Looks great. Im regretting not gettin that hull now lol!

 

[goldhunter_2]

sorry no pictures today.

I have not done any of the camo patterns yet but started the trailer I gutted the cross members and replaced with four new flat ones then bolted down flat bunk boards , replaced the spring shackles with some a little shorter along with new SS bolts . I put the hull on the trailer then bolted the grass rake up .
I still need to make the side board guides , trailer has the PVC flex guides but they suck for a airboat I also want to do something on the back for dry loading not sure if a ramp or roller is best ..........if anyone has pictures of a good trailer setup for dry loading please post up to give me some ideas
