365 days of boats / boating

[ocphotographics]

Since summer is here, and getting out to do boating is on everybody's list, I figured I would start a thread and TRY and post a different boat each day for a year.
I will put any info I can about the boat I post for the day, but some will just be candid shots of random people enjoying the water.

I will start this thread with a ski race boat:

Boat #1
Owner: Michael Avila
Boat: 20' Lab Sport made by Sport-fisherman Marine in Australia
Power: Merc 300
Dana Tabs, Cable Steering with front and rear Ballast.

Brandon Larson out of Scottsdale just bought that boat. All of the color and lettering is vinyl. Brandon stripped it off and it is now yellow and white. Not sure what color he will paint it.

Thats a lot of vinyl, would have hated to been the person that had to remove all of that. A heatgun would help, but still Damn!!

I think it took him about 3 days. Here it is with the vinyl removed.

3 days sounds about right I have done vinyl on boats for years, and when they come back to me to remove, I direct them to a company that does wraps. I don't think I could charge enough to remove vinyl, its a pain in the ass, not to mention I am more focused on taking photos of boats now vs putting vinyl on them.
