40 outlaw redone

[sterling]

The boat is been painted a few days ago ,silver metellic ,and dark blue ,after a few days of curing I am going to start mounting some stuff on the hull .
What do you guys think of the paint ?

[sterling]

a few more pics

[Ratickle]

That is sweet.

Can't think of a way to ask this politely, so...


Are you gonna screw it up with weird graphics?

[sterling]

Ha Ha ,thats a good one ,I like it already very much ,I was thinking to only use the Baja name left and right ,and on the windscreen .
But not 100 % sure yet ...looks clean isn,t it ?

[Ratickle]

The only boat I can think of that looks that clean and sweet is the Cig that had the pics in the thread with the Chief.

for power I have two Yanmar 440 hp turbodiesels ,drives are Arneson ASD8,s ,and gearboxes are ZF two speed .
I am trying to make a relyable and economical boat that could cruise for a long time and distance.
Any input for paintcolor on those Arnesons ? these are bronze drives ,they have a little corrosion that can be easily sanded ,not sure what to do ,paint or not ?

[FULL FORCE]

Very cool, can't wait to see more!

Cool. Keep the updates coming!

[waterboy222]

awesome project.. definately going to be checking back in this thread!

[Bowtye8]

Very neat project. Keep the pics and updates coming.
I like the sleek look. I would maybe test a Ghost Baja graphic in the side(near the rear 1/3). But thats about it for my taste.

[TxHawk]

Very cool. Leave the logo's off the paint.

I agree. That was the first thing to come off my Outlaw.
Well beside the UGLY JOHN's stickers.,

Thanks for the kind reply,s ,I did some work on the transom the last few days ,the wedge inside the transom is epoxied and fiberglassed in,the holes are drilled ,but I could not lift the drive allone with the outside wedge to install the whole thing ,monday I have the hoist back ,and will try to install the drive .

Hernia operations aren't all that bad. Ask Mobilemercman......

[sterling]

Not much done ,I just came back from a holiday in St Tropez ,France ,I saw some nice boats with diesels overthere,lots of Mangusta,s but those are not for my type wallet.... going to work on the Baja next week ,I keep you guys updated.

As for the props I have a set 4 blade radice props ,and a set 6 blade Rolla,s that came with the Arnesons when I bought them,but those are 21 1/4 inch diameter and 28 pitch ,so I need to sell those and try to find anything around 18 inch diameter with 25-26 pitch
