Found a source for Flo coat, and have some on the way from Cali. Looks like the Placecraft is gonna be my test subject. All the hardware is already out so why not. Will post some pics when I get started.

Sweet, think I can use this on my youngblood? It flexes alot and doesnt have wood floors just fiberglass. But would like the glossy look.

Company is Sher-fab they sell all kinds of fiberglass materials, balsa flooring material etc. What we are using is Prostec and will be applied with a hvlp spray gun. Sher-Fabs number is 909-923-2200. I am going to spray it as soon as product arrives and we have a semi warm day. They said I would need 1.3 to 1.5 gal of Prostec and cost is $90 a gallon. I ordered 3 gallons,and a pint of catalyst. we are doing two boats so I will post some pics and let you know how much product we used to do them.

All materials are here, and I have pulled the motor and most of the hardware out today. We are working on a new wiring harness too. I am having all hardware powder coated and having dash and seat brackets done in Carbon fiber print.
I will get some before pics as soon as I have it completely stripped down. Hope to have it ready to spray this week. bling.gif

Here is a pic of Ricks Eliminator floor. Please bear in mind that this boat is a 1978 model and was in very rough condition. With that being said I think it turned out pretty good. bling.gif

I will post some pics of the Place craft floor today. The top has been cleared and the floor flo-coated. Time to put it all back together again.

Flo coated floor in Placecraft. Check out fabricated shifter box mounted on the seat pan, all covered in liqui-plate for the carbon fiber look.
