Like em all, but was thinking about the all white wake. Can you tinker and use the blue and white to delineate it more? Sorry, can't help myself. Former ad man early in my career. Nice job either way!

Tim, just tell me the colors of your canvas, boot stripe, trim, and the name of the boat and her home port and I'll make one up and post it here.

Aaron, I'll fix the e in enterprise and change the colors to red and maroon for you. One question, do you have the big stripe on the Hull below the rail? Yes, I am using CAD but it is a program that I got 16 years ago that a friend gave me to help with some engineering work. It's called Visio and I can understand about 1/10 of it but it can draw the boats fairly quickly. It takes about a 1/2 hour to do each boat if I have a good photo to work with.

As far as the book, if you do one, give me some time and maybe I can do one rendering for each model.

I like them all and I'm not bias, well maybe a little, but that F-32 has just a little something special. I can't put my finger on it but the other F-32 owners know what I mean :wink: ..... :D just kidding, they're all great.

Doug - Canvas is black, not sure what a boot stripe is, and the trim is black. The exterior of the boat is black and white and there is a blue stripe just above the waterline and bottom paint which is black. SeaDog is the name and Decatur, IN is home port. But add whatever colors you want - I like colorful.

WOW Doug - That is amazing and I like them both. I plan to print them on adhesive-backed decal paper and use them?

wow, i LOVE the one with the boot stripe and without. i actually like them all. now the tri cabin purist is coming out in me. the starboard side orientation shows two forward slanted port lights. actually, from 1972 until 1979, only one port light is used, two on the port side. here is where these port lights lined up... the two farthest ones were in the forward stateroom, the second one, port side only, for the forward head. after 1980, the forward stateroom portlights were totally eliminated and the only one was for the forward head, port side. in 1986, ALL portlights were eliminated.
now, moving aft.... the aft cabin windows followed the line of the accent stripe after the 1977 model year. that was the only year that six (three for each side for the aft stateroom) standard opening portlights were used.
if the program allows, it should just take a little tweaking for that. but man, do you do amazing work!!
