Im not sure how the paint will hold up. Its just oil based rustoleum. But I did prep very well so I hope it stays around for a while.

What primer did you use?

Everytime I see this mod, I can't help but think about Bumblebee.
Hopefully, you'll have as much fun with it, :LOL2: ...

Water wasp looks ready to hit the water. =D>

I thought about buying some, but they're so simple to do out of pvc pipe, that I couldn't justify spendibg 12 bucks on them, so I made some myself. And as far as getting on the water, I still need to fibd a trailer.
