Re: MFG Calendars????

I'm working on my calendar girl ! Here she is at my recent leak test sporting a fake Photoshop paint job. When shes finished in a couple of months she will pose for some "pin-up" photos! I hope she will be worthy!

Re: MFG Calendars????

I am sure you'll make her nice n purty and it would be an honor to have her in the calendar. I love that photoshop color .... she's going to look good. I was going to do mine in that color but I may have to go a lot darker. My seats are grey and a dark blue and I was going to dye them to match the boat but instead I may just paint the boat a darker color. I have a while before I have to make that decision.

Re: MFG Calendars????

Well, I have some really UGLY, old & tired blue seats that I am going to have to live with for awhile. The boat will be pretty with ugly seats. They are in next years budget!

I've been mulling over a way to cover them that would look decent. Unfortunately I'm not skilled with a sewing machine.

Could someone tell me how to embed a picture directly into the post like the one above? I can't see how to do it ...

Re: MFG Calendars????

Hi steve .... here is a link by a guy named Woodonglass and it will tell you how to post photos. Woodonglass also has some great videos on how to sew and recover your seats. There is a lot of guys doing it in the restoration section of the forum that have never sewn before. Here it is: http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=410147

Re: MFG Calendars????

How are we gunna decide who gets what month ? Do you have a plan on how to put together like some type computer program?
We're starting to get some real cool boats together! Adoseth's Seacruiser has serious cool factor!

Re: MFG Calendars????

Good point ..... haven't thought about what goes where just kind of threw it out there to see if anyone liked the idea. I have some photo editing programs that will allow a calendar set up. Yep ..... there are some great boats that are taking shape. Yours is going to look great with that hardtop.

Re: MFG Calendars????

No need for the boats to be "finished" to appear in a calendar! I think a few good "under construction" type photos might be inspirational to those still in the early stages of rehab (the boat ... not me).

Heck, just cause a boat ain't "done" don't mean it ain't purty!

Let's see some "under construction" photos! Show us what you got!
