Great Ultra Gel!

[bigq]

Anybody else think this gel looks clean?
Did Ultra stop making the 247?

That is sick gel...and no Ultra did not stop making the 247. I know Thor just picked his 247 up - beautiful boat:D
But, I do think they are selling a ton more 24 Stealths than the 247s..but I could be wrong. If I recall, this was kinda suppose to fill the 24 foot void in his Stealth line...and eventually own the spot and quit building the 247--but I think John's to smart to stop making a great product that is in demand. If people want them- I imagine he will continue to build them.

I think it's awesome looking! I saw a ............ either a Magic or a Conquest deck boat with tribal flames in similar colors and looked VERY good!

[TheEduKATor]

Very nice indeed. They do some great gel work.

[phebus]

I'm tired of "shock" graphics. That boat is beautifull!! :D

[XtrmWakeborder]

[HCS]

[Windy]

Roln is right.
The 24' Stealth is very large for a 24'er. Unlike mine, it is a true 24'. My 247 incorporates that swimstep. But, my boat is also significantly lighter and has a double step hull (much more aggressive). I have a 96" beam and the Stealth has a full 102" beam.

The ultimate compliment.
I think it is fantastic looking. In 10+ years time, people are going to look at that and say, "Wow! That's nice clean looking gel." :)

That's just what i was thinkin:D

Sat next to that boat in the channel Mem weekend. The guy was really cool. Back of boat said bankers hours.

[fourspeednup]

That gel is very clean, I remember looking at that boat over at roln 20s house while we were trying to figure out some graphics for his soon-to-be 25 howard bullet. I personally don't like the flashy, deeply colored designs on west coast boats---that ultra is a nice compromise between the new styles but done without looking like i just threw up all over the side after eating red and pink candy

[Kilrtoy]

Awesome gel as always, but the color is seriously lacking......

[LASERRAY]

Sorry to disagree, but it needs color IMHO. :cool:

Kind of Cream Of Wheat Gel......

I bet if you were to see that boat in person, that it comes alive. I doubt that it is in need of color....

Maybe it's Myboatia.....

[Kilrtoy]

Even if i saw it in person, IT STILL NEEDS COLOR

[HighRoller]

You would think that white and silver or black would be boring, but so did I. I was a "Black is beautiful" guy until I bought my pickup, a GMC Sierra in Arctic white. Then I bought my big truck, which was white with polished aluminum and stainless trim. The effect of a simple white paint job offset by chrome, polished SS or tinted windows is nice. I'm a fan of the "clean" look, not the "busy" look. That boat would look quite nice in person I'm sure. I saw a boat with neon orange base coat and purple and neon green flames. My fiance asked why someone would want those colors and I told her it's so when they puked over the side nobody would notice! I can't figure out why people want gelcoat that looks like the carpet in a casino!!!!

You'd be suprised at what passes for taste.
Different strokes I guess.;)
I too like the white/chrome/tint package. I currently have a black Chevy P/U that looks sweet when clean. But my next will be white.;)

[ChumpChange]

That boat belongs to one of my boys. It looks good in the picture and better in person. It's at the Pomona Boat show if any of you need to see how color blind people see the world.

[Kilrtoy]

I saw it in person, Awesome work, BORING ASS PAINT

Love the boat.........love the paint. I saw a pearl gray 24 in Topock......it had a little more blue in the gel..........but damn.....it was clean looking........I like this one.......clean and purdy.

Bank Boy. We were next to you in the ultra on Mem weekend in the channel. Remember tastie pasties? Yeah that was my good friend Justen and I.

[Bank Boy]

Hows his business comin? He needs to "Gett 'r' dun"

[rvrtoy]

Are you still enjoying the boat as much as the day you picked it up?
Steve

[Bank Boy]

Loving life and loving the boat. Just got done getting her loaded with all the family junk for this weekend. One more kid and i'll need the 28'.:)

[Dr. Eagle]

It is nice but it still needs color...

Then put color in yours

[Dr. Eagle]

I already have....

[Bense468]

Then why are you putting him down. Its his boat bro. You may not like it, but keep that to yourself. I have seen it and thought it was very nice and clean. Pretty timeless and different then most are doing today.
between you, kiltroy, and laser you stated your opinions at least 11 times in one thread.

I was not putting him down!!!!!!!!!
I was saying IMO it needs some color. If I was in the market and saw it I wouldn't buy it! That's all! To each his own, like you said it is HIS boat, if he likes it....... GREAT! But I was not PUTTING HIM DOWN...:rolleyes:

[voodoomedman]

Speaking of the 24 Stealth. Check out what the fine Ultra Boys did for me on my gel. This too is much more beautiful in person. They made it match my truck too.

[jbtrailerjim]

Nice boat's Voodoomedman and Bank Boy. I saw Bank Boy's boat at the Pomona boat show. Look's even better in person. How do you guys like your 24 Stealth? I almost waited and bought one instead of buying my 247 last summer.

Very nice looking boat, well done on the gel coat.

[Evo22]

thats a good looking boat

[Bank Boy]

Voodoo, that is a hot rig. Love that the truck matches up.
Jb, I love the Stealth. The extra width in the bean gives me a lot of family room and the cockpit pushed forward gives even more. It was big debate between the 247 and the 24 Stealth. Like the swim step on the 247 better.

[Dave C]

Ultra has some beautiful paint jobs..... hands down one of the best.

[Havasu Cig]

We were at the fuel dock in Mission Bay in San Diego putting gas in the boat and the guy's that do the gel for Ultra walked up.
They were very cool guys, I can't remember their names but they were hispanic. Hands down they get my vote for having the best gel coats out there.
They were checking out our boat maybe trying to get some ideas for a new Ultra offshore boat.:D :cool:

One of them may have been Martin?
He does some awesome work,I don't think I've ever seen any Ultra that wasn't nice gel work.May not care for one or the other for my taste,but they are all top notch.They can sure match every individual taste no matter what it is.

As in Casillas? They do awesome gel work...
Like you say, not all my taste, but the quality of the work outstanding

[Havasu Cig]

One guy was older and the other was probably early 20's. He was talking about finishing Jesse James boat, and said they were working on some even better stuff.

It is bad a$$. Got a 496 Mag and Mike water tested it at 45. Of course loaded with peeps and ice chest and beer and gear brings it down about 70 but it gets to that speed fast. It hops on plane faster than you can blink and the handling is top notch. Read what bank boy said about the interior. I've got the open bow, the cockpit, rear facing, rear bench and one down below. The other side down below they built in an ice chest for me.

[Dr. Eagle]

They do some of the best work in the business... and even the boat I think needs a little more color is beautiful!
