Just the one above it. That is not primer. That was the faded burgundy color of the trailer. 

If the weather would cooperate here then I would get out there and sand that coat down and apply some more. Then start getting all the hard to reach spots done on the trailer. I will take more pictures as I go on it.

Anyone happen to know what the actual colour code is on the Rinker red? I have a 97 232 Captiva CC and I need to change name. I want to match the colour in the font.

Sweet looking ride............

have a 2000 212 with chev 350 FI got rid of the 3 blade prop  14.75 x 21  put a 4 blade 14.25x 20  best thing I ever did. Got hole shot, slower plane speed, smoother ride, better fuel economy, no sacrifice on top end. Still runs about 55 mph @ 4900 to 5000 rpms......  Should have done it  16 years ago...........

Hello all.  Can anyone direct me to prop size/choice discussions or offer opinions or experiences for a 212 with 5.0 mph Alpha Gen II.? Thanks!

I have a 2002 212 with a carbed 5.0 Alpha. I Have run several props and have been best satisfied with a 21 pitch Vengence SS 3 blade and a 20 pitch Alpha 4 aluminum 4 blade. I tried a 19 pitch Rev 4, but it was clearly too much prop - would need a 17 Rev 4. Dollar for dollar, the Alpha 4 is my favorite, but aluminum dings easily and mine is dinged to the point of a bad vibration so I no longer use it.

I have a 2003 with the 5.0 Mpi I have SS 4 blade 14.25 x 21 I like it.  It runs to 4400 rpm and tops out with three people and full fuel at 52.
