 Re: DIY Styx River Nat Gear camo
I can't believe how good you got it around the floor braces and the half pipes down the sides. And you camoed everything. It really shows that you took a lot of time with it, looks great. How did you get the stencils to bend around everything so well?

 Re: DIY Styx River Nat Gear camo
Thanks for the compliments. I turned the hull upside down to do the outside and the stencils lay flatter, using a coat hanger around the v crimp helped as well. In the end I just cut up a stencil and used in the tight areas and bracing. Patience is key, and keeping the stencils clean also leads to better results.

 Re: DIY Styx River Nat Gear camo
Boat looks awesome. Ive always liked the lines on brothers hulls. Post up a report when it's finished.

 Re: DIY Styx River Nat Gear camo
Thanks FT, have a GTR on order and still collecting info on the transom angle issue. This one is at 15 degrees and not 20 degrees like GT specs on their boats. From what I hear there are viable options - per Brother he never has had a hull he has built not run well with a GTR on this transom angle (I absolutely believe this), shimming to get a deeper bite if I need to dig out. I expect it to run and perform but want to ensure it will be the best setup on whether I shim or not. I just want to get back on the water.
