Sweet!!

That transom is deluxe.

You are not alone in getting your rear-end handed to you in boat-land, my friend. I bought the T shirt :salut:

We may end up a little upside-down....but we'll have a couple of sweet rides :thumright:

looks like a ground wire got crushed by the nut/screw holding the battery switch in...

that transom looks sick!

Basically...

And the other shop did that?  Shame, shame, shame... :thumbdown:  :thumbdown:

Boat got painted today and hopefully in the next week or two finished with rigging.  Can't wait to see color of boat with both the deck and sides out in the sun.

ahhh, blue!  Just kidding, guess it's stars and stripes blue. It looks very familiar to a blue color I had on a flats boat back many years ago, Marlin Blue.  To me it looks a little bluer, is bluer a word?, a little more blue..,but should be very nice contrast with the grey deck.  Eugene picked the color out so have to give him some props for the color choice(s) of both the hull and deck.  I just didn't want any of the colors Hammerhead Livewell tints since those colors really didn't work out that well for me...lol! :wink: If I were to give any advise I wouldn't go with any Hammerhead Livewells colors!..

It reminds me an old Hewes Bonefisher color from the 70's. Blue with a torquiose splash. nice color!

Agreed there, Farley.  Remember that blue on the Hewes boats...

Actually, SP, that looks damn close to what we used at PL starting '06 or so, Glory Blue.  Think it was an HK gel.

It does now look like that old Hewes color from the 80's the more I see it.  Here it is out in the daylight getting rigged.

Good lookin' :rendeer:

Eugene said today it is the same color that Dennis Connor ran on his America's Cup yachts. He also said choosing the color was easy...he went straight to sp's wife :lol:

Shrewd!

I stopped by yesterday to see the guys at Shipoke. OMG that boat looks amazing! If I had the funds I would have them re build me another 24 proline.

The blue is called "Stars and Stripes Blue" on the Awlgrip color chart. Dupont calls it "Patriotic Blue". All of the winning America's Cup boats helmed by Dennis Conner, as well as the first American Cup boat to suffer a loss to the Kiwis, were painted this color. I have fallen in love with this color and my next boat will be painted the same.

I simply suggest colors to clients, or more specifically, their wives. We live by the motto that if Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. I think Shortpant's wife will be very happy with the color combination on this boat.
