New Skunk Works Cat

[bustitup]

Question to throw out there. This is a rough gelcoat finish. I can get a price break if left in this state of finish. Thoughts on the finish?

Thanks for the feedback.

Scotty

define "rough" does it just need alot of sanding to piant or does that mean its smooth but would need mandatory painting

I could def live with having to paint it if it was cheaper

you never answered if it was possable to make it a little wider?

[Skunk Works]

Just not a gloss gelcoat. I see it as ready for paint, not mandatory, but ready for it if you want to go that route.

No go on the possible 11" , cannot change it in the foreseeable future.

Sounds fine for me

I vote for a smooth gelcoat finish. I've never seen a 'rough' gelcoat finish! I'd rather pay more for it to ready to use or ready to paint without a bunch of sanding, etc.

Sure a lot of people saying "I want one" without knowing the price!?

[egneg]

I would rather have it gloss as well.

[Ub Hauled]

Since I like to paint my hulls, I vote for non finished... all that would need mandatory sanding is the bottom of the sponsons, a little water sanding never hurt any elbows, If it comes with gloss finish then it has to be sanded to be painted... that's a pain in my elbow.
BUT, how much is it going to save us?

[Brushless55]

How much are we thinking this hull is going to be?

Scotty did mention a few times that he had to meet with the fabricators to talk buisness. I'm sure he will come up with a price for us as soon as he know what he has to pay for them.

No worries, still hard at work on this. Updates to follow soon.

Trying to get an answer out of the Chinese can be frustrating sometimes!

Hey Scott,

Do you have decals of your logo?

[Skunk Works]

Hey Dom,

I have 3 logos in black vinyl and 1 in white vinyl. They are about 2" by 2" Wording also in black vinyl....but separate cut.

This cat hull be a native of Bangkok Thailand. Kind of an odd arrangement for a hobby shop I must say. They used to make flat bottom scale boats....like the ones you see with the big motors and those long prop shafts for out on the rivers. Good people, no great people. Its what I like the most about this little biz, the people you meet around the world. Awesome when you think about it.

Good find on the Thai hull makers. I have met the nicest people in the world doing business in China. So far, that's my main sourcing but more countries are coming on line all the time. In the model airplane arena, Vietnam has become a player with good quality ARF's at great prices! Good luck with your new venture! If you ever want to collaborate on projects, PM me!

I also have some personal friends in Bangkok. Great people!
