[dmontzsta]

WOW! Is all I can say, that thing looks like it is fresh out of 1975, but better!
Also, glad to see you are still alive and well. :rolleyes:

[MAXIMUS]

That is really sharp! 1 of a kind for sure... Should look fantastic on the water complete...;)

[GofastRacer]

That is badass for sure!..

[vdriver4ever]

Jerry it looks great! Can't wait to see it again.

[Hud]

Looks great!!! Another K comes to life......C'mon! Nice job Billy & Jerry.

[ColeTR2]

Jerry it looks great!!! You need to have Dave rig that boat old school.

[msmeads1]

Is That Thing Bitchen Or What?

Great Job Billy And Jerry, Very Cool.;)

[Dogballs]

That is the most bad ass paint job I have ever seen in my life!

[river redy]

Looks great Jerry,Keep us updated with progress photos:D

[Youngblood]

Damn, that's nice! The bullet between the k-32 is a nice touch. What's the window in the back of the deck for?

[Roaddogg 4040]

Jerry... When do you think you will have it ready for the water?
Steve

[GofastRacer]

What's the window in the back of the deck for?
So you can get to the rudder and stuff without taking the tank out!..:)

[Hustler]

Unbelievable!! This boat is insane in the sun light I cant wait to see it on the "River":D
Awsome job on the paint Billy

[Lefty]

Jerry boat looks Great. Keep those pics coming. Can't wait to see it in person. Now Jerry, you going to race that thing?

[Rattle Can Lou]

Well. I have to chime in...I give my buddy Billy allot of heat about price and time it takes and on and on..But I got to tell ya that when it comes to custom paint, he is one if the best I have ever seen. I know some of the best. Billy constantly questions himself about price and time, and he hates to hear that he charges too much, and I don't blame him. When you get done with one and you've lived with it for six months you look at the hours you had on it and you always say the same thing..."I can't charge him for all the hours, he'll have a shit fit". So you compromise and charge accordingly. Billy and Jerry..it is beautiful, something to be very proud of..

I was about to say the exact same thing Louis! :D
Bad ass Billy Boy. Jerry can I take it for a spin?:idea: :D

[lilrick]

nostalgic boats are very cool.

[Lefty]

Well said RCL anybody that has ever tried to "do it yourself" can truly appreciate the amount of work that goes into a paint job like that. I'm not saying that a do it yourselfer could ever do something like that, but it does give you an idea. PS I love the pic of used tape rolls awsome

[V-DRIVE VIDEO]

Thanks everyone I can't wait to get it all rigged and in the water.
Looking Great:D :D

When I first showed Billy what I wanted to do I thought "how the hell is he going to do this?" he obviously came through big time!:)
I was about to say the exact same thing Louis!
Bad ass Billy Boy. Jerry can I take it for a spin?
As in turn 1 of the sunday Long Beach final? :devil:
nostalgic boats are very cool.
When it comes to flatbottoms its amazing the B boats and runnerbottoms are 35 years old and still state of the art.:idea:

[Jetboatguru]

As in turn 1 of the sunday Long Beach final? :devil:
Hey, I had to put it in there. I will figure that thing out. It finished every heat and will be up front one day soon I hope.
Bad ass ride Jerry.

[dossangers]

Another piece of history comes to LIFE!!! I saw it in person the other day INCREDABLE!! A work of ART worth EVERY PENNY!!!
Krazy Kolors aka Rembrandt of flatbottem painting:D :D :D

[pro53]

Man that HONCHO is BEAUTIFUL.:) I love the FLAKES:D

[ck7684]

Drool drool drool drool

[hottrodder]

I have a question for you Jerry and all you other B boat guys. About the bottom. Those don't look like lifting strakes or are they and I just can't tell from the picture. Rather they look like fins. Is this to help the boat turn when you bury the pedal and track straight when you bury the other pedal?
I was told by Carson that my Mandy had lifting strakes on it at one time. The previous owner asked Carson to put them on in an effort to reduce wetted surface. Carson said he took one ride in the thing when they were done and he put it back on the trailer, hauled it to the shop and ground them off :eek:
Great looking boat though.

[Dogballs]

I love this boat, if a flat bottom:devil: could be in lowrider mag this would be it.

[RUSSO]

Its my understanding that they're for packing air under the boat. I believe when combined with the dropped chines it aids in rocking the boat back on its tail. The height of cavitation plate "gulls" help determine how much air is trapped (to raise the bow) and how much is released (lowering the bow).
Remember, I'm just the camera guy who doesn't know shit and default all questions to Wildchild80.:)

I've already fit the trailer with 13 inch Daytons (Gold center;) ) and 10 switches.:D

[flatnutz110]

Jerry boat would have made Pete proud!

[BobbyB]

dossangers, I saw the boat in your avatar at the LB races. I am a fan!!!

[V-DRIVE VIDEO]

Hey, I had to put it in there. I will figure that thing out. It finished every heat and will be up front one day soon I hope.
Bad ass ride Jerry.
You definately weren't shy headed for that turn.:D

When I heard about this boat in washington from circlejerk, they said it was a real Honcho Flatbottom (1 of 3). It had been painted over but some of the original metalflake was visible
I went up there to shoot their race and couldn't argue with the HIN. It read HONCHO75 the boat was for sale so I made a deal.
This boat is the sister ship to the one we took the design from. 2 out of 3 of the original Honcho flatbottom boats were flake. When I stripped it down and uncovered its original design it was very similar but we had no pictures or anything and a lot of the disign was lost in stripping.
On the other hand, we had lots of pics and home movies of the other one so we went with it.

[D Ginny]

Jerry that thing is bad ass I love the metal flake can't wait to see it

[Dimarco21]

WOW!!! Looks great Jerry / Billy. Nice job guys.:D

[Morg]

Jerry,
That thing is bad ass. ALL the hard work has paid off big time. I can't wait to see it in person.

You know I'm stoked! Hopefully it'll run half as good as it looks so I can smoke Sequoia lol....

[ssmike]

It turned out fantastic JG.
Earl is still at the top of his game.....I heard a rumor that another metal flake boat was coming down for the KK treatment.
I sure hope so.:)

[Sanger D]

jerry, well worth the wait!!!:eek: :eek: billy is truelly the best,hands down that is the baddest paint Ive seen dude,looks very retro and totaly 70s sycho-dealio!!!!!;)

[Mid-life Crisis]

Jerry,
I don't want to sound redundant but the boat does look awsome! I'm very impressed by your commitment to detail on the boat. It's going to be incredible when it's finished. I noticed you replaced the penis with a bullet. NICE!!

[stickmann]

Billy B is a genius; we know that.
There was a fellow who came to work for us at Jones/ Starfire in Seattle who did work like this in metalflake gel coat. I have never seen the like. He was an amazing character. He got his start working in CA for Sanger. Who ever heard of four color metal flake gel coat?

[Day-Go]

I dont jump in here too often with comments But that thing is the sh-ttttt!!! Everyone likes different styles for different reasons by far the badest nostalgic paint job I have ever seen!!!!!

[Jetboatguru]

Thanks Twitch!:D
You know I'm stoked! Hopefully it'll run half as good as it looks so I can smoke Sequoia lol....But I am pretty sure his won't be running by that time.:D
That's not very nice Jerome.

Are you implying (by your misquote :D ) that "Mad Dog" Sequoia will have already grenaded his Clyde motor by then? :D

What he means is that by the time you actually get this thing running I will have had a long string of K boat championships under my belt and will have nothing left to prove and therefore move on to NASCAR.:)

Billy has been raising the "bar" for decades......Must be cool for him when he looks back down at how far he raised it the last time.......Jerry, that boat is probably the sickest thing I have ever seen.........The accolades to Jamie make it totally off the hook.........You're gonna have to get those eye doctor type of throw away shades, just so people can look at it!!!!!!!!!!!!..........Ray

[biesemeyer34]

[BILLY.B]

Thanks EVERYONE for the complimates on Jerry's ride. I never would of guessed when we started this project it would get this type of response. Jerry was kinda "Ah it looks alright", and it was really bothering me when he'd leave the shop cause he just didn't seem like he was very enthused about it. I kept telling him it would really come to life once it was cleared but it still didn't seem to help him out. Then came last Friday and on our way down to Long Beach we went by to see it cleared. When I took the inspection panel out into the sun light the look on Jerry's face made this all worth it. He can finally see light at the end of the tunnel on this step of the project and it's been alot of fun duplicating it (as close as I could remember) this for him. Thanks again everyone. Anyone up for doing the "Withers & Primm Special"?.

Hey Jerry,
That sure looks like Pokunkville and when they leave here they never come back.

[TonkaDriver]

Are there any pics? Maybe, I bought a Shark from Flatmvn and will have it ready for paint in about a year. Seems like it may take that long to save the cash for an incredible paint job like the Honcho boat.
By the way, I have understood from the start that this project was meant to bring this boat back to it's original glory unlike some who haven't kept up with the project.
Great job Billy and Jerry,
Kurt

[CONCEPTMARINE]

Very Nice Piece Jerry, Love The Colors Also Love To See Billy Sanding The Bottom. Cant WAIT To See It All Done
