There's a young guy over in Livingston MT,
who's making the worlds prettiest driftboats
right now. They start at 8 grand and he's a year
behind in his orders.
When I tried commercial driftboat building in the
early 1980's the market was rowdy fishing guides,
like myself: everybody wanted a bargain.
Now its 20 years later and the silicon valley high
rollers all want a driftboat, and 10 grand is peanuts.
Anyway, the Jason Cajun boat I saw today had a nice
sharp, mask line between a graphite powder bottom
finish and a white paint sides (and natural finished
inside).
I'm not sure how Jason did it, but if it was me,
I'd run a graphite/epoxy finish up 5-6" past the chine,
and let it run wild. Then I'd mask the spray job over
top of the black graphite, using standard auto-body
techniques.
