Congrats on all the builds guys.
Those colors should pop.
You guys (and me!) saw it here first! Lol.
Considering I just finished spraying the mold of the 27 deck about 4 hours ago, I sure hope Eliminator’s laminators are working all weekend:D
They had the bottom well under way last I saw.
I like this color combo, and I’m not sure if exact colors, yet.
It might be silver?
I think it would look way more bad ass in Cement Gray.
The blue like @DaveC Speedster. Midwatch blue with a custom mixed fade.
And the green faded like the Mike Morales 28 Speedster, that sinister green which really pops next to black like that.
I wouldn’t even do pearl in the black on that one.
I’d pull those stripes on the side above the rubrail and under the windshield farther forward and perhaps a bit leaner, and raise the green stripe across the transom so it doesn’t skip across the tunnel bottoms.
Overall it would be a bit “darker” than the rendering, and way more mean looking. :)

Thank you, I know he’s very excited about this build as am I, a 27 with twins has been his dream boat since the mid 2000s when there was ICCs and 300xs lol. He was so excited to tell me all the stuff you guys went over today he could only wait 4 minutes after I got off work to call and tell me all about your guys meeting. I have every confidence in you that will make this boat look as bad ass as it can!

Pretty sure it is something with that picture only because they have standard tunnels.

That's good, because in the rendering, the port is tapered more than the starboard! :eek::D

This is going to be a cool boat, can't wait to see it done.

Looks like @Gelcoater left some masking tape in quite a few areas...


Beautiful, and the fact you had to wait for a dolly definitely tells how busy you guys are! I’m still sobbing for not biting the bullet.

Lol!! I didn't really make the connection till you pointed that out....But yeah! it certainly does ..

You should have bit the bullet.... everyone's doin it!!! :eek::D
