Next Nordic build

[Nordic John]

Is a customers 26 Deckboat. White base with reds, silvers, charcoals and black metallic.

Here is the hull, seat backs and extended swim platform being sprayed.


Starting to skin the hull today.


And the deck and cupholders being taped.

Did you tape it and shoot it?

Not that John doesn't have some gel coat experience under his belt but that doesn't look like him in the pics.

Vail, sure makes for a lighter skin than the 1.5 mat. I'm going to have to get some for my next builds.

Just brought it up from the Lam shop this AM. We built a mold for the step now so it can be built out of fiberglass with the boat.

That is a beautiful gel scheme, super classy, I dig it. Apologies if this is a dumb question, but how does that pepto bismol looking gel turn into that dark awesome red? what was sprayed on the seatback photo.

It's all smoke and mirrors.



Seriously,red gel can have a slight translucent tendency.
After the red is shot their guy mixed a little white in what was left and backed up all that red with pink.Its an extra step to assure quality.

If you backed it up in black right away it would have a dark cherry look, and not red red red. That center pod is like the ones on the Highly copied Silhouette's.

I owned this Silhouette for 12+ years. Great riding boat & VERY functional.
