But Cap'n, you do have a nice custom table in your boat. wink

And we still need to get you to name it.

Very true about the table. But that was plug n'play grin

A name........... I don't know. Can never seem to come up with one, it might be bad luck to name it this late in the game,since it has never had a name yet.
Maybe I could name it Banana Peel, after my outdrive paint comes off first run down the lake, it will be a yellow outdrive. wink

I've been through the desert on a boat with no name...




Makes as much sense as a horse.

I finished painting last night. Need to un-mask it, and that should be it. It looks shiney. We will see how long it lasts.

BillyB - I will send some pics to you this weekend of the outdrive.

Mine was scuffed up on the bottom from sand bars, etc. Just looked a little crappy. Bought a spray can of the VP grey outdrive paint from my local dealer, took a little wet sand paper(and a cold Bud Lite), sanded it down, let it dry, (opened another Bud Lite) shot the drive with the paint. Looks great and has been on there for over a year.....so much for prep!

Maybe I should have done the Bud Lite method too. If this paint job does not last, I will try it your way next time. wink
