Well my boy is finally fully booted & spurred this season. Can't explain how proud I am to have my boy hunting along my side. He still has allot to learn, but he brings his own flavor and good ideas to the sport. Although he still shoots over, around and behind sea ducks like Chezz..... LOL (poke, poke). He's getting better with every shot. We had lots of singles and quads flying in the morning and after two hours I had managed 7 shots to his 17. We dropped six eiders with the score 5-1 in my favor. Can't wait to get out with him again.         |

Hey Justin,
The paint is navy ship side grey which is the lighter of the two colors. The other color is normal primer grey which a thinned out and sprayed on with my buddies gun.
Our 25 Yamaha has its connections with through hulls and there is a lower bilge pump fitted as well with its switch up in the bow which is readily accessible. She handles like a dream in rough water and is super stable. I'm no small boy yet I can stand anywhere on the edges and they don't dip below the water.
It had taken us about four hours to lay out all the 1" tape pattern after the ship side grey base coat had dried. But the effort was well worth the results since she absolutely disappears on the water. For use around the marsh I have a custom four tone mesh camo net. Its a nylon dye cut material that fully covers the boat but leaves the cockpit open. It easily blends in to its surroundings as well. There are some other pics of the initial build in the boat section under Project X. Cheers...... Johnny-G

I'll get the manufacture name and color numbers for the navy ship side grey tomorrow. I'll post them up for ya as soon as get them. I'm pretty sure the paint can be purchased locally or at the very least color matched.
