I might drag mine down there this winter and let you paint it for me.

 

[Skools Out]

Cant do without her during the summer, maybe we can work something out for the spring.

How long and how much $ do you think it would take to sand and paint a V 20. I'm just kicking around the idea now but one day I might get serious and do it.

You know like a few to many beers and the next thing you know theres a tatoo on your arm. ;D

 

[Skools Out]

Hey, I just noticed the boat doesn't have the windshields installed. Do you have a set or are you going to make them yourself :

 

[Skools Out]

well i had planned to install them today and to put the new rubrail on the boat but no time tomorrow though i hope.

 

[Bygracealone]

Of course, you mean after Church--right :

 

[Skools Out]

sorry BGA i missed it i slept in till 11 am then got to work on the 21 first thing an issue the old rub rail screws were 10 X 1" SS oval heads so i hunted around and went to ACE Hardware and bought a couple boxes of 10 X 2" screws for $13.67 a box, then layed a nice bead of 5200 and filled the gap between the cap and hull.got the rub rail out of the yard and started the stretching of the installation. the rub rail i layed out in the yard to get hott 2 days ago and left there. the insert put in the freezer so it would shrink. well we installed the rub rail and 120 screws later done then got the insert out and just pushed it in with no stretching so that way it won't shrink later on the boat a trick my Parker guy told me ;D Here's the pics of the rub rail installed see below isn't she a beauty. man such a difference.
