Yah, and put the OB on and drop it in the water and take it for a spin and run some video for us. That would be helpful thanks.

Hey, you aren't thinking the flip is a one man job now do ya? Don't muck up that paint job bro! It's awesome!!

That's better. Now it looks sweet!. I may have to come see that in person, let me know when you flip it, i'll lend a hand and listen to Brad complain about something......

Can you change the blue to red so I can see what mine will look like? I need some motivation.

Ive never heard Brad complain once . K, Ill let ya know. Im kinda thinking this weekend. I got some things like working on the seats but I really need to get her back over for the real work..... or atleast the work I really enjoy doing. Although if you come over and help you'll be way inside the accepted 20ft viewing distance.

That is an awesome paint job. This is the standard I will try to replicate! Thanks for showing the way.

Stripes look awesome whats the story on the template ? I like all the photo magic as well can you turn your Holiday into a mariner and try a few different paint schemes for me?

Re: 1978 Starcraft Holiday 18 Rebirth

Looks awesome! Makes me really want to hurry up and get mine done. Glad I could help out a bit .

Re: 1978 Starcraft Holiday 18 Rebirth

Thanks for all the compliments guys. The finish is fine but if I had a setup to spray it I would have.

Story with the template was boatguy had found a good side shot of a boat with the stripe and traced it out on his computer. After 64 emails I adjusted it to my length and then had it printed out on paper. It worked pretty slick.

After 64 emails....

Shhh don't tell anyone about my email fiasco .

Re: 1978 Starcraft Holiday 18 Rebirth

Im attempting to salvage the back-2-back seats that were in my boat. Two questions.....

Any reason why AC2 ply wouldnt be ok to use to replace a couple of the seat boards and build new bases? I seen some of you guys coating regular ply with epoxy but wasnt sure if there was a reason.

Anyone have any good tips or cleaners to use to clean up the grimmy looking vinyl? I had a bottle of 3m vinyl cleaner I was going to try but some dummy dropped it on the floor and shattered the bottle. :facepalm:

Re: 1978 Starcraft Holiday 18 Rebirth

Are you thinking to rebuild and reupholster your back to back seats? If ya, check out the prices at Veda and WalMart on new ones, can't beat it with a stick!

I tried a bunch of stuff but couldn't get the dirt to budge on my vinyl. Even the magic eraser couldn't do it so I'm no help there buddy, sorry.
