 Paint... Round 2 After having a shitty outcome from my last paint job I sanded and painted again. When it needs paint again I will likely pull the plug and sink it. I used a green base (kem400) and natgear stencils. I'm pretty happy with the outcome and these pics aren't too good. Also I really put the pd to the test yesterday and man it sure impressed me. Yesterday was the first time I "needed"] reverse and it did the trick. If I had been in there with a non reverse motor I'd likely still be there. I had some difficulty with my reverse due to not remembering to grease it though. Got a call in to pd and KP was great help and I got back on the hunt. Very satisfied with my boat and motor and rdy to do some killing.

Re: Paint... Round 2 I hit with a light sand paper, then etching primer, then paint. No issues.

Jay you can get those shark eyes already black for the same price I believe. Someone had a link on here a while back to some I think it was either amazon or eBay.

Re: Paint... Round 2 Med that boat looks freakin awesome, I cant get over how well that paintjob looks. Do you have any pics with a blind on it, or with it out in the places you hunt?
