Ryan, what paint are you using again? The stuff from Wing (techthane) or something different (tuff coat maybe)? How has it held up on the other boats?

I know that painting is all about preparation, but the stuff from Wing isn't holding up so well on my tubes!

The tubes are new out of the box CPI Tubes. On my other boats I use rubber bond paint and I get about 3 yrs and 3600 hrs on them before we repaint. The front post with the ladder on it ? It's from magic tilt trailers.

My friends at Dakine will like that product placement.

Looks bright. I hope it has a "Stun" setting as well.

Yeah, I think you need to check the alignment on those engines? Something looks weird there.

We are going sideways in that picture so the engines are towed in. Next episode of ship shape TV will show it moving sideways.

I initially thought you had mounted your radar to the surfboard...

Nice job with the boat.

That boat has everything. But, if I had to nitpick, only space for one surfboard??? That just wouldn't work for me!

NCP: Exactly how many surfboards do you use at one time?
