For those that don't know, this hull WAS the GN24 Body Snatcher before Ted/Joey built the current GN24... Current owner is a SUPER good guy...

Nice job on the pics. First off, you gotta keep an eye on that Toney guy. Pure trouble. Secondly, there's some serious hardware out there. I'm not sure if the boats are more impressive than the paint/gel schemes on some of those big ones. That's a crazy amount of real estate to color on.

Agreed, I can't begin to wrap my brain around the colors/layers/layout on the GEL... I've watched how Billy does the layouts for his paint and the stages/steps for his graphics, I can't even visualize that, let alone these giant boats AND figuring it out in reverse, from the back/opposite side...

Some of the bigger ones, especially the East Coast ones, are painted. The outlandish gel schemes that John West and the Ultra guys upped the bar with, were amazing to watch. Other than a stripe here and there, many of the East Coast boat manufacturers would kick out white boats and color later, which is still a feat. Originally Posted by 2manymustangs

He liked the instant ON/OFF of a blower engine and didn't think that a split second delay of spool up in a turbo engine was acceptable in any way/shape/form... Originally Posted by msmeads

Miss his bizarre sense of humor. I only met him once, but he really seemed like a nice guy. Originally Posted by 2manymustangs
