This week's work went well. Got a bunch of little things done, cav plate for lower transom (brass .016 sheet and 8 hours of fun). Steering column, drop and wheel. Struts for the cavitation plate. I also got my paint under the first coat of clear. I used several different designs, all of which are simple and easy with an airbrush. Fist Silver Silver Flake sprayed on and then cleared and sanded, second came paint, I used a combination of Candy purple, Candy yellow, Candy orange, Candy blue, and black. Third step was 2 coats of spray max 2k clear (368-6061part #). Lace, mesh, fish scales, shadowing and fade where used. It really pops in the sun. The pictures just don't come out right, not at all. Sparkle and color are off. I will sand the entire boat and do 2 more clear coats. I will then sand 😔 buff and polish 😔 😐 😀 . I hope to update soon....Dave RR

Been working 4 days on the ugliest paint job ever...it's under final clear so I hope all my bolt ons add to the look (so far I am disappointed) anyway this is what I have for paint...somebody please voice your real opinion.....I really need it...it's not to late for a repaint 😛. Thanks Dave RR

Well, I can call this one ready to get wet. On the bench it's working very nice. The cog belt driven transfer case is quiet. Drivetrain has minimal noise and vibration. I am running 2 - 2s batteries. The speed control and motor can go to 6s. So I can play around with the voltage. 😜 We'll see how it does under a load. My local pond is hard to launch and retrieve (no dock to walk out on). Looking for another suitable place. So far so good 👍 Need some nice weather now! Thanks, Dave RR.

I let my grand kids pick out a couple figures...I think they matched em up pretty good 👍 Hope to get to the pond soon, 29F here today 😱 so as soon it warms up...... RR
