It's hard to keem them clean all the time. But we try.

[sawtooth]

Very, Very Nice. I am impressed how you guys come up with new shapes and designs insteed of the cookie cutter way of thinking.....I am sure it costs more but no one ever said it was cheep to be different.

[GofastRacer]

Some fancy stuff there!..

[Itsahobby]

Everytime I see their stuff I think "now, that's done right". Nice clean work.

[BILLY.B]

This deal is off the hook. It's why I keep mine covered in the garage. Everytime I go over there it's some new part that they've made and I think they put it on if they know ahead of time that I might be stopping by just so they can piss me off. Looks cool. As far as the paint goes it still needs to be colorsanded, recleared, and then rubbed out. This whole project is off the chart. Best thing about it?????. Tom lost control of it sometime back :D :D :D .

[ColeTR2]

It will come apart this week for plating and polishing

Yes it gets polished first.

That boat is beautiful and the hardware is amazing!!! Nice job. ;)

[Duel in the Sun]

Will this boat be used to race? What type of money are we talking to build that? Does anyone know of a circle boat for sale that would be a good race boat for a beginner? I would like to think that I am a good driver. I am stepping out of a jet and would like to try racing.
Thanx

ThanxCould you imagine racing this deal????. Maybe as a drag boat if it was a runnerbottom, but a circle boat with the chance of someone running thru it. Never gonna happen. Boat will used on the river and shows. $$$$$$$ cost. Let your mind run wild. I'd say somewhere between $90,000 & $100,000. Keep in mind the engine is around $35,000 to $50,000 of it.

Who do you guys use for ano and powdercoating?There are a couple of different guys that do the anno. Alum-n-art in Ontario, Ca, and Jenco in South El Monte, Ca. For powdercoating I use Concept Powdercoating in Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. All of these businesses do a great job.

Hello Guys,
Im a trucker and Im looking into getting a circle boat, any ideas on wich direction to go? I have some experience racing years ago, I had a old sanger in the early 70's. I have been watching these boards for a while now and I have just now decided to sign up and start asking some questions. I was at camp far west on new years day and I am hooked now. Please give me some suggestions what is a good boat. Thanks in advance for your reply,
LL

EDIT: Just saw the new pics and DAMN! Do you guys ever stop? it just gets better and better. We are looking at the inside of a boat and its rigging, but some people would look at this pic and think it is some fine furniture. :D

Thats really great looking, but I have a question. Does the orange correlate with any of the colors in the hull? It doesn't really look like it in that lighting.
Thats got to be the best rigging ever made though, awesome.

[ColeTR2]

It's real close to the orange around the bottom of the boat. The pictures don't do it justice

[sangervdrive]

Has anyone ever painted designs or lettering on the wood floor before it was glassed?
Being that transparent I think it would look awesome, I've been pondering that for a while now.

[ColeTR2]

Has anyone ever painted designs or lettering on the wood floor before it was glassed?
I have not seen it. But I did see money glass into the floor somewhere. I think you could do it just need to use the right paint. Maybe MR Billy B has see it done.

http://www.rulessoftware.com/***boat/kk5.jpg We have done quite a few and as Mike stated you have to make sure that all the paints are compatible. Especially with whatever the floor was flowed with in the beginning.

[TRG]

We recently gel'd cyclones (Jetboat guy) floors with the colors of the outside of the boat, they turn out pretty nice,...let's see, there was a canary yellow and a lime green fade, and a bright orange with a dark orange fade, and a dark blue stringer as well as floor. i dont have any pics of it or i would post some up.

Well after spending a few hours at Prime I have to say that not only is their work top notch, but everybody there is about as classy and personable as you can imagine. I need to thank the Mikes for welcoming us in and being very willing to share their time and knowledge with us without knowing who in the heck we were. Thanks a ton. By the way, that boat looks even better in person.

The Roadster show has invited us to showcase three boats that we built. Two Bezer's and one Barron Sprint. One of the Bezer's is this boat. So if you'd like to see this boat it's going to be at the Pomona Fairplex this weekend. 1-27-07 & 1-28-07 If you have time check them out.

[fc-pilot]

Mike King said he was hoping to have it done for that. Is it on schedule to make it? If I were in town I try not to miss it. That boat alone would be worth checking out.
Mike, sorry we missed you when we went over. Thanks for the invite though.
Paul

[ColeTR2]

Mike, sorry we missed you when we went over. Thanks for the invite though. Paul
Feel free to stop bye anytime . The boat is at the show and looks great we took it off the trailer and set it on foam blocks. So it real easy to look into. The car guys liked looking at the boats and had lots of questions. One guy even said look it has a clutch three peddles. I wonder if he thought the middle one was for the brake.

[ssmike]

Mike:
Looks really great. I like how bright the orange came out.
Is the flowcoat different on this boat than on the last two (the Bezer or Barron)? It looks clearer to me.
