Top side paint is done Woooho, I have been working toward this turning point for a while. I will post some pic tomorrow. Once the paint sets up good, time to finish the interior, trailer and get the SS back on it so I can get the Mercruiser installed. After I get the trailer done I want to take it and weight it before the boat goes on so I have accurate weights for both.

Very nice excellent paint job, looks like a very good match to the rest of the boat how did you manage to get such a good match

Looks great!

Thanks Guys, The color is Rusto Pro, Marlin Blue and it is a very close match, just a tad lighter. I bought a gallon of it and the gal of Saftey blue for the trailer, the origional plan was too mix the two to get a better match but it wasn't neccesary, plus I can touch up if needed right out of the can.

More like Mini-Me's coffin with drink holders, I think. LOL

Glen, you knocked this out of the park. Again! Those guys on the lake will be asking where to buy one of these once more.

Re: 1986 ss 201

Awesome. I forgot about those side panels. This really is the nicest SS yet.

Re: 1986 ss 201

Thanks a bunch guys, well see how it all goes back together, and the true test will be how it performs on the water. I haven't found anyone that has ever been in this model to ask what they thought.

DII - our '85 V5 rides like a dream. Had it out in some big water a few times - almost stood it on its transom once... Handles chop really well.

PS - the rebuild looks great . Can't wait to see it on the water.'
