Well, I changed my mind. I think this is close enough to post for comments. Especially after Pat blasted me last night. 
So, here are the changes we want to make so far. The orange to yellow fade needs to be MUCH darker...at least in the orange. The bow graphics will be stretched towards the bow to accentuate the length. And the orange stripe will be brought down onto the dash. The rest of the dash will be blue I guess. Right Pat?
We would also like to work in another green stripe. Really like that. What about maybe working in some red?
Cockpit will have white vinyl with carbon fiber blue combing panels and carbon fiber orange and yellow stripes in the tall panel on port side. Chrome bezels, blue and chrome shifters, blue wheel and stainless grab handles.
Cabin will have white leather with irredescent blue accent on top of the couches and brushed aluminum on the kitchenette and under the couches.
So, bring it on.

Bringing in more accent stripes or colors in with green and or purple might make it pop some more, but I'd stay away from adding any red. Too much contrast.
Stay with Brian's recommendationa and put the AT logo on the deck, not on the sunpad.
You also might consider going with the longer head rests on the sunpad like the ones Pat used on his 33.
Have fun with it.

I think it looks good. The only suggestions...
1) Do the sides of the head rest in blue on all seats not silver… I would look very hard at the demo 33 interior. I think that is a nice white with blue accent interior. Silver would be too much in my opinion since you don’t have a lot of it on your boat.
2) Do the same blue on the sun pad on both the port and starboard side. I like how it looks on the port. Give it a little consistency and more color and it will bring it to life.
3) Paint the deck hatches...A must…
4) I would also do what Brian suggested and put the logo on the deck with the graphics. Would look choice…
I also agree on making the orange to yellow fade more pronounced. Until I blew up the rendering, I didn’t know it had orange at all…

I would also recommend that the transom is painted (I'm sure that is but it does not show). I like the idea of coloring the sides of some of the cushions! Also, it would be a good idea to put the AT logo on the windscreen, dash, sunpad, etc.
Some hot paint schemes these days have blue and silver integrated (swirl, tribal flame, etc). How would the given style look with blue and more silver (reduce the yellow to highlight and add color)??? Just a thought.

Yes, the transom will be painted with a matching swim platform. We are thinking it will be a metallic cobalt blue similar to the Skyy Vodka bottle. Pat is sending us samples to pic the exact color.

The swim platform will have a retracting stainless ladder built in. Pat said it can be mounted on the side, but I nixed that because of all the rafting we do. So it will be centered on the rear.
