What's that on the bottom of your pods?

by **Flightstopper** » Sun Sep 09, 2012 5:37 pm

Now where's the new motor all painted up?

Orange on the pods is so the coasties have a better chance of finding our bodies when the inevitable happens up on superior

Motor gets painted tomorrow

Looks good. Like the orange. Something we definitely should of had on the last boat.

What is that stuff? I'm guessing it's clear since you already painted the bottom? How noticable of a difference does it have on the boat?

by **QH's Paw** » Mon Sep 10, 2012 11:16 am

We use Gluvit or coatit and then some guys put wax on that. That's mostly on drift boats and kayaks though. I've got coat it on my aquapod.

i have issues with imbedded youtubes on the pc for some reason

I'm thinking the boat should do 100 or so with that stuff on it

Well then, I should invest in some to help that old 9.9 push my 14' boat up onto plane when I've got 3 guys plus decoys loading it down.

Looks good. I see you haven't peeled the numbers yet.

You putting a blind on it or is it just going to be used as a tender boat? Looks great BTW.
