Well I,m finally getting a chance to finish my .21 mono. Nuthin better to do than paint since the weather has been crappy. :( Tell me what you all think.
Still have to do some touch up and clear but it's the start.
My buddy CFRACR brought me a belt when he visited. (Thanks Man had a good time, looking forward to after Frances) so I can put her together after that.
Old Paint....

Was wondering what ever happened to that boat. :D

You've got an old tunnel boat on your shelf don't you? I'm wanting to make a shelf queen out of one.

Btw, funny you mentioned paint... Just back after stripping the G' down to nothing. Will start wet sanding tomorrow and put a coat of primer on. No rush, seems like theres more fun in working on them than running.

BTW Double what color are you doing the G in? and yes.... I still have that outboard cat that has become a 3'-0" long dust bunny! :( after I finish this one I'm prolly going to be doing that next.
I'll finish this one up early this week and hopfully can go running with CFRACR depends on how much damage gets done from Frances.

Colors?

YTBD -- Yet to be determined.

Spoke with some guys locally and they're helping with paint selections and a few instructions. Seems like it'll take as long as I thought. Damn.

Hey CFRACR,
It's not 21" long.... it's 23" :D
If I'm not mistaken this boat was built for a .21. Sucker should fly tho :eek:
