    hi, can anyone please help me find a picture of a boat in the mag a few years back? it was a low pro v drive bubble deck or similar and the paint was made to look like plates of steel riveted together. i think it also had a checkered flag integrated into it on one side. its the paint scheme i am interested in for another project. any help would be appreciated! thanks - b

    Are you thinking of Jet Hydro's boat?

    I remember that one. I don't remember a flag, but I do remember the realistic way they did the skin peeling away from the riveted panels. Awesome paint job. For some reason I was thinking it was a hydro v-drive though.

    could have been i really cant remember, probably since the metal looking paint belied the glass under it! i wish i had kept that issue, but it got lost i think.....

    The Nov/Dec 1998 has a 501 Kurti Kraft hydro called Live Wire on the cover with that type of paint. Air Syndicate painted the boat.

    That's the one I was thinking of. Absoutely incredible paint job. I'm usually pretty traditional with paint colors on boats preferring a couple three colors, but that thing was really great and must've cost a fortune to have done.

    Berk could this have been a Blown jet in silvers,grays ,blues etc ? wild "rivet" graffics" and other hallucinagenic crazy stuff, if so I photoed it in Santa Maria when i bought his other boat circa 2001 or so That boat was painted by some suposedly famous folks in Bakersfield Calif as I remember and was in HB at some point I'll try to dig up the pics Tom

    thanks! yes i remember some blues, and the boat was photographed in what looked like a garage or somewhere inside where it lives on its trailer probably. septembers mag actually has a boat similar painted on page 90 in the aft section, but i think the one i am thinking was slightly better done.
