New 2020 Firefish 17 foot Convict build

LOL you guys.... I like the gold black idea Clode, but no green or gold.

If I could go back I would have painted my boat metal flake orange instead of just orange....I like the look of the old 70's glass speed boats

Copying is a form of flattery boys .
Just a bit of a pain as most don’t have any idea the thought process the goes into a build and visualizing the finished product.
Easy to see it finished and say ? WOW that’s awesome. Lol

I wish it was a good story about running some skinny channel but it was just a small accident...
I Crunched the front bow/starboard side in. Was running close to shore and turned around to check on my dogs, took a little longer than I should have...shore got a little too close at that point lol.
Its all fixed now just waiting to pick it back up at some point after it gets a quick leak test
Go with the purple its awesome. I get nothing but compliments and there are very few if any out there that color. (as much as I would like to stay the only purple one lol)

I ckecked with Steve i am a different color than you lol.

Hahaha its all good Chris, I was just pokin fun. I am surprised I have gotten away with the purple for this long. Although Somebody in Alaska got a Fish made and copied most of my color scheme and design and Bratt Jet did one that was super similar...oh well lol. Keep the build pics coming the new boat is gonna be a runner for sure!

Custom paint will be slick, much better than that awful blue they use sometimes.

Things have definitely come a long way since the custom weld, Viking 1.

The new boat color looks similar to plum crazy purple with more metallic flake and with the black accents she will be a beauty!!
