Spring Projects: Who is doing what?

**moombadaze** · 03-09-2011, 10:48 AM

and Ive been waiting for 2 yrs for you to get off your lazy butt and get it done. HA.

Yeah, Ryan, quit dragging your feet and do some mods to your boat already.

**newty** · 03-09-2011, 01:32 PM

Just giving you guys some time to catch up. I after my display of mad skills with a sewing machine and the "broady knob" install, I could tell by the increasing jealousy on the boards, you guys weren't ready for more mods just yet. LOL

!

Oh yea... I'll be doing a gel coat repair that I'll document coming up soon as well.

Had a little boo boo with the swim step and grab rail.

Note to self... don't depend on your (mildly intoxicated deep in thought) friends to guide you into to the garage.

No excuses necessary for me. I'm the one who knocked the garage door off the track with an open locker door.

same here, door is still bent and the sundeck was bent up about 6"-but that boat is sold and gone

Congrats to you man! One word of advice is buy your toys now! Luckily you already have the boat, so you're a few steps ahead of the game! I bought my truck as a pre-wedding present to myself... before she could say no.

And thanks man, we're excited to say the least. It'll be a life changer for us, but I'll make sure to get the little bugger on a board as soon as I can.

This is definitely of interest to me. I have thought about doing this since I took possession of my 2010 Outback. I am waiting for the carpet to become a little more worn, and maybe wait for someone else to do it first. I had a Glastron with no carpet, and that part of the boat was fantastic.

Newty...I have a gel coat repair to do as well. I got in a disagreement with a dock over who had the right of way and I lost. Just wanted to pass along that at least for 2005 Spectrum Gel Coat was the supplier and I got a very cool color matched repair kit for the platinum base color on my 2005 Outback. I got the kit last season but plan to start working on it soon. I think there is a string out here somewhere with Spectrum's number.

Give it a minute, lol. The carpet in my '08 looked pretty rough at the end of 1 season (100 hours), and I am finatical about cleaning and vacuuming it. I would say that is the biggest flaw in our boats, the carpet is too light, and not removeable. For '11 I think they offer a darker carpet, but I haven't seen it in person to compare.

**mmandley** · 03-11-2011, 09:48 PM

The carpet in the 2011 is a little different style. Its harder because its kinda already mashed down. So i expect the wear to not show as much. I dindt get to walk barefoot on it but to the touch its stiffer.
