What about white and removing the stripes? Looks quite sleek without the stripes IMO.

OK guys - request is closed: we will turn in blue :wink:

Here's some 'Photoshop-disaster' to imagine the new outfit:

That work will need some time, but next season you will not recognize this beauty :D

Not to hijack the thread, but based on the last picture you posted, it looks like you are stern heavy. The only time I had my stern that low in the water (if your boot striping is in the right place) I had 17 people on board! Agree that it would be nice to use a colour for canvas and striping that looks good, but do you have a weight distribution or safety issue to deal with first?

Boat striping in front is too high - no worries about that :wink:

I can't remove mine on the bridge as I had it painted.... but I'm thinking about removing the one on cabin sides.

I agree - will remove my stripes when I repaint. The ones on the front of the bridge collect heat and fade badly.
