First Design with new name and a frosted blue hull also with a white hull.

Let me know if you want to change something.

Rick

BTW those are the exact stripes I pulled of a picture of the full scale MOJO I rearranged them a little.

Awesome job Rick !! I like it.. Can you do one with the name touched up with green like in the first pics or would that be too much green? You'll have to send me the original so I can get some quotes on this Decal work or Paint job.. Thanx, Tom H.

I did it that way at first but it just washed out and got lost in the graphics.

Looks good Rick.. I wasn't sure if the name would stand out or not..?? Perfect.. Should the Boat name be in Quotations or just the word evil ??? Do you know of anyone who can do this in paint or decals? Can you send me a pic I can send to people to get quotes for.??
I like the bottom one without all the blue like the top.. Thanx, Tom

If you click on the attachment it will open the full size image then just right click on it and save to your computer.
It's already a Jpeg image so It can be opened by any image program.

If you need it in another format let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Any sign company should be able to cut that out for you, If you want I can email you the photoshop file and they can cut the vinyl from that.

IMO the top boat paint job looks really nice and "EVIL TWINS" sounds great because of the dual motors....good job yeeharacing.

Hey Tom

great name you picked for the GTX, paint scheme looks like it should be cool too.

have you test run the GTX yet or any new updates for us?

I'm ready to test run the Sig 57, water is not frozen yet, but it's cold .
I want to do a test run Saturday or Sunday , it will be a quick one though!

Steve,
They are cut in and set down inside about 1/4 inch.
Wondering if I should mount them a little lower? ? Later, Tom

they look a little high, but pic's are not like seeing in person.

xxxboatworks GTX scoops are about a 1/4 up off the hatch to bottom of the scoop opening.


pic of mine, thought it might help.

I did not glue my scoops in, I lowered them 1/8" from hatch to bottom of the scoop opening

I think they look much better that way!
