My Hanes Formula 233 rebirth

[wirlybird]

I got the paint for free so the cost isnt that bad but the sanding sux hard ways

I have the new metallic silver in a interthane 990 they make gold blue and red also but the silver looks hot. My top will be perfection snow white. It will give me something to polish ha ha

Just dropped the boat off to get painted at Arnold's boat repairs wooo hoooo!!!!!!!

I have some video but you know the story apple program windows website brrrt we don't like each other

[aaaayy]

wirlybird have you used the 233 as yet how she handle the rough,are you happy with its ride and handling,was thinking to do the same .

[wirlybird]

My boat is still sitting at arnolds waiting for the last coats to go on. its been there for 25 days now
The first time i was in a formula was when i was 19 i was doing a rescue on hamilton island the boat had a pair of 200 Yamaha's on it and it was painted vivid red. We were out in a cyclone in between the islands and the boat was handling like a champion in 5ft wind against tide chop. We completed the rescue and came back to the harbor and said to ourselfs no other boat would have been able to do that. The 233 has held a place in my mind since then. 20 years and 12 boats later i own one and i can see why they don't go up for sale very often

i have been told the last coats will be going on on Monday that 2 months in the paint shop it better be good

[ozynorts]

I should think so. Did they give you a time frame before you dropped it in?

[wirlybird]

they did say at the start that they were busy but you wouldn't think 2 months of busy

[wirlybird]

Time to put all the goodies back on
