Whoever said an all-white boat can't be stunning never met painter Stephen Miles, http://speedonthewater.com/boat-rest...slate-makeover.

I drooled over that boat when it was new sitting in Lake Cumberland Marine's showroom all shiny and new. Back in the day Randy was asking like $550k for it sporting a brand new $50,000+ paint job by the Art of Design. In my wildest dreams I could not imagine that someone would ever purposely sand off that beautiful red and blue paint, but then I took a totally white boat and painted it red. To each his own I guess. Beautiful boat white or red.

White is cool but that boat was amazing in the old scheme.

For those who don't know Jim W. owned this boat and XXX 47 GTX.....both have been repowered and repainted!

His first OL was a 39 orange/red interior and that is the boat that needed the redo, not the 2 GTX's.

He also owned that big 40 something Scarab "Smokin Joes" but has been into fast cats for years now.

I fully agree and love the all white. Just did the same to my outdated looking '42 Fountain and haven't heard one person say they liked it better before. Makes the boat look 20 years newer.

I'm totally cool with it since most paint jobs today are too busy for me. Love the Fountain re-do.

I love simple paint jobs, really shows the lines of these great hulls and decks.

I do respect and admire very detailed paint jobs, however, you can't go wrong letting the lines speak for themselves.
