'88 Starflite Resto (SOLD)

[yellowfiero88]

I'm fairly confident using all the resources available, I'll be able to turn out a pretty good product - or I'll burn it to the ground!

Imma give it a go... hopefully it goes well! If not, mine might end up looking like YF's "wasted income".

It's all fun and games till something bad happens. I joked around about it falling off the trailer or sinking when I would get pissed at it. Then the fire happened and left me with a nightmare to say the least. In the end I did not come out ahead at all. I wish I still had "Wasted Income" as I finally had almost everything worked out and knew what had to be done to get the speed it should have run! I must also say as good as the new enchanter looks, I would prefer "Wasted Income" over it any day of the week

That aside, looks great Josh. Summer is here, get back to work damn it

Progress is hard to come by.... so is room in the garage. I could sell this and buy something to get on the water this year, or keep plugging away and more than likely have to wait til next. Conflicted both ways. Why, ya want a solid 'Flite???

You ain't lying! I've got the hard sh!tty part done... now it's just a blank canvas awaiting someone's creativity!

Nice can wait to get to that part I got lots of goodies for mine gauge ****er steering wheel 33c shift cables and hydro steering to

Well, got it all primed/bilgekote'd. Ready to flip. Will put another coat of bilgekote on after it's upright again and some colored splatter in the bilge area.

Interlux primekote is some thick sh!t.... bilgekote is much more user friendly! At least there isn't anyway anything will be getting wet n soggy.

Looking good! Any progress is a plus

 

[yellowfiero88]

Looks good BK

 

[BADBK]

FLIPPED! Finally...

Bottom is in great shape, shouldn't be too tough to get paint or gel ready. Trailer is solid too, need to re-do bunks and sand whole trailer down. Going to bedliner/rubberize coat it.

 

[BADBK]

Did it with 6 dudes, flipped it off the trailer then carried it into the garage. Took all of 6 minutes. Hopefully going back the other way will be just as uneventful.

 

[BADBK]

And I thought grinding fiberglass was fun...

 

[caliburn]

looking good bet your glad to have her flipped, ah progress.....
