Thinking about raising the console

[007]

I'm very confident that I can build the deck and do all of the glass work on it myself. The only concern that I have is what it will cost me to have someone spray the splatter to match my existing finish. How much do you guys think it will cost me to have 50 sq ft of splatter done? All input accepted. Thanks.

those fiberglass dudes near your house where i had my boat done can do it or they can direct you to the place that has it .. it is off college st.

Dunno Mike, it prolly costs more to get a guy with the right rig to make a service call than the material itself, unless you can find someone with the right kind of shooter.

LOL, if you want it in quick-set drywall mud, I'll do her for a 12-pack! You want 3-color epoxy, now whats about like the cost of Rhino Liner, maybe $150-200 just guessing?

Why not go smooth finish like the pros, and put a coat of Imron over it when you got her slicked out?

007 did they use a gun or free hand on the last splatter job? if they went freehand you may be able to do it yourself but if they used a gun you need to find someone with a splatter gun and i dont know if your going to be all that impressed with the end result due to past experience.

Ed Harper at safe floor has the spray rig to do that kind of work, he said it shouldn’t cost much but couldn't give a quote without seeing it first.

Is Ed's shop the new one off 146 that opened up recently?They have a banner outside say we do safe-floor.

I think that’s it, they are in the process of moving to that shop now. His old shop is off FM-518 and Anders lane. Ed has done a lot for me over the yrs and I have always been very satisfied with his work.

Hey Mike, you do realize that everything going to your console is going to have to be longer, steering, control cables, wire's, ect.

.....and you'll get less fuel economy, but you might stay drier!

If i was doing a raised in your boat Mike I'd go aluminum stand. Remember glass is heavy, you add weight you sink...just saying that's something to think about.

Just put in a burn bar and steer with your feet! LOL

Oh I see, he wants to take off the console, build a false deck including your captain's bench, and then make the plywood look like the flooring once taped and coated in epoxy. I'll tell you now that the manufacturer's texture can never be matched perfect although you can come close. But there are a bunch of scooters that had that done down here, pretty nice. Good luck Mikey, you're gonna like that!

DUDE you never seen his boat haul building materials! we hauled tons of shingles and tar paper and tons of plywood among other things and the boat hauled azz!!

DUDE, Ive seen it, but weight is money. I hear Mike talking gas mileage on here all the time.
I know why he really wants it raised though...more storage for 12 packs...he ain't fooling me at all!
