Did you use Zoops on any of the motor parts? How did that hold up? I have it on the way and if I only have to polish the stuff in the water I will be ok with that. I am going to ask Pumpkin about that shark hide too. Powder coat is nice but nothing like black and chrome or polished. I have seena lot of aluminum parts that have the chrome coming off so get a good shop to do it. One that will stand behind their work.
