Eliminator 235 eagle face lift

[Menace Marine]

We are just getting started on updating a 90s era eliminator eagle. As of now the plans call for new gel coat as well as new interior. There are no motor and drive upgrades planned as of now but this is just the beginning

The trailer was redone earlier this season with new brakes, wheels and tires, bunks, and lights. Not to mention that shiny black paint. It used to be teal and full of rust.

You can see in that last picture where somebody else painted over a stripe that ran the length of the boat just above and below the rub rail. This is an example of what not to do. If they wanted the old graphic gone they should have brought it to a quality shop that would have sanded out the old gel and sprayed the entire area white. Doing the repair right with gel coat would not have cost to much more than doing it wrong with automotive paint and it certainly would have been cheaper in the long run.

Nice! can't wait to see. This boat was for sale around the boards about a year ago. Glad to see it went to a good home!

All torn apart. Ready for lots and lots of sanding.

Holes are filled in the transom and the boat is 90% sanded. You can see the pink stripe the previous owner tried to cover up. You can also see the spots where the gel coat has been completely sanded through. This boat was in rough shape and the gel was really wavy. It will be straight and right soon.

Any drawings of the new gel coat design?

[Menace Marine]

no drawings but it will look like this boat when finished. The owner just wants something clean simple and timeless.

Sorry for the dead thread. We are back working on this boat and it is almost ready for interior. Motor is in and dash is almost done. Pics will be posted this week I promise.

The owner did his own interior work and the boat is back together. It has been a long project as it was a budget build and was done mostly after hours. For a simple re gel job with some new powder coat and minimal rigging updates I think it came out awesome.
We lake test it tomorrow but other than that it is all done. At least until we put some real power in it.

If there is something specific you would like to see let me know and I will get pictures tomorrow.

Just curious but can you give me an idea of what it cost to re-gelcoat the boat? If I don't sell my boat (29' Shockwave) I'd like to have it gelcoated all white similar to what was done with this boat. Looks great btw.

Thanks. Gel coat cost are a huge variable. To do it right everything has to be completely stripped from the boat. The boat then gets sanded, sprayed, sanded a lot more, then buffed, and finally all the hardware and rigging is installed. It is really hard to give an exact number as every boat is so different. But to give you an idea the gel coat work on this boat by itself was $5,000. That included filling some holes, fixing a lot of stress cracks, and painting the engine compartment.
If you would like to discuss prices for your particular boat feel free to give me a call any time.
