My Boat
Well after what seams like a life time I beleave I,m done. She was painted by Trynton Laubach . He is a painter at Star Toyota. And one hell of an artist if you ask me. I told him to paint her because I will not run no Yellow boat. Its not in my nature. then I told him I would like the Texas Flag on her so he came up with what you see. This is the old Shock Wave 55 with a Z. 230. I had the engine Poly Dyned. To cut down on the corrotion we put up with down here in Galveston Tx. Its retro fited with a tuned pipe. Now that was a pain to get it in. The newer SW has the engine at a differnt angle than this older one. The trailer was hand made by me. Don,t have a 6000 dollar Alum. welder so just used rivits. The fenders were a pain. I might take em off and do something ells. Well I could go on and on but who wants to here all that. Just set back and enjoy.

RE: My Boat
Nice paint on your boat!But I like the Dodge Viper!!! I'm thinking on getting a Moster truck to pull my boats with. Hay heres a pics of my OCC Shwinn Stingray bike that I'd done up!! Custom fenders and tank,streached the fork about 16".Painted trible flames on it with a 80cc gas motor on it.It does about 40 mhp!! I was watching Occ building the fire fighter bike and I thought I was see dubble!! They had the same full size bike paint indentical as mine!!

RE: My Boat
Well I am glad you asked. I owe some one on this form a big thank you. Here is what I did. About a month ago there was a lot of talk here about trailers for boats. I made a copy of one of the trailers I liked. This trailer of mine is toltaly made of that one photo. Its not that hard to DIY.
