man I'm slow; was looking at that picture for awhile till I got it
I don't know if it's easier to make it 52" and cut it down to a 48" if you don't like it,or the other way around.Personally,I don't think you would see that much difference but thats just an opinion and the guy thats giving it really wants to see a 52" 12 foot jon boat.
I'm pretty sure some small airboats are 12X6

Top pic: Gonna use the pieces as doublers for the front and back maybe? Looks like the bends will match the rear and front slopes of the boat.
Here you go. I will need some help on a lay out and how to put on the deck. If anyone can help please do. Also Im going to have to paint it first. Here is what I want to do. Anyone ever use this place? Is it worth it? https://www.styx-river.com/stencils.htm I want to do it in the max-4 HD

The Styx River stencils work really well.

There's a couple of how-to threads in the boats, blinds & gadgets forum there to give you the step by step as well.
I used the Reelfoot Custom Camo stencils in MOBU on my 1448 several years ago and it turned out great.

does anyone have a picture of there stencils? I can draw and cut them out. If we could get some pics I can turn them in to a file and everyone could download it and use them. It would save you $100. If you have any pics email them to me [email protected]

$100?

The styx river and reelfoot stencils are laser cut from mylar.
You'll find out very quickly that you need something that won't get saturated with paint. It's a slow process.

Thanks thats a start. Here is what we will do. When I get the pattern done all you need to do is go get some transparency paper from a office supply store. Then just print the pattern with the tranparency paper and cut it out with knife. Very very easy. I promiss.
If you can get more pics please do.
thanks

That looks good.
Transparency paper might work for about 3 to 4 images, then it's going to be a runny mess. It is also rather flimsy as compaired to 5 or 7 mil mylar.
Trust me, I have used these stencils a lot.
The great thing about mylar is that it can be exposed to solvents with no effect. You can hit it with paint thinner or mineral spirits and clean it off when you need to and start again. Do that with transparency paper and you're going to be left with a ball of goo.

I'm not sure. Maybe.
An office supply store may have it.

Great jobs on the stencils. =D>
If anyone prints them and paints with them, let us know.
When the homepage gets done, We will move these to another section somehow for quick reference. :beer:
