I agree, 2 gets my vote. I think the green will pop better on the water. Plus IMO the purple highlights look better against the yellow background.

I guess it would be appropriate for me to comment :).

I agree with Mark and John's points - the green looks hot! The purple definitely looks better against the yellow vs the blue. Another thing to keep in mind is that the real thing will be amazing and will pop like you wouldn't believe when compared to the rendering. I just got the final pics of mine from paint today...look at the difference.

Mark - perhaps you can put up a pic of your rendering vs the final product?

In the end, go with your gut. With these 2 renderings, you will win either way!!!

I vote green (#2)!! It gives it life!!! Sorry Brian....

I like the SB and the Port side as is in the left drawing.

As for the logo on the deck, I like it too. Its kind of an "AT thing" to have it on the deck like that. James' says Thunder up there. Mine says Monsoon.

However, my 'logo' idea on the deck was to have the oval logo worked into the graphic on the deck; like this (but better):

I just realized I put my logo idea on the wrong rendering.

I do like the green, but it reminds me of the boat in Clark's avatar.

:D :D :D

I like the green in pic 2 along the bottom line of the boat will look good reflacting off the water. I like the AT on the deck, I would not worry about reading from both sides.

#2! Much better. #2 also makes the boat look leaner and longer.
Don't care for dark azz logo though.
I think the AT logo (as shown) on the white portion of bow would balance it and look bad azz. I don't care for swirled logo on bow. Way too many boats have the "swirl look" paint jobs - for example: like most Cigs from late '03 to '05. Time to create a distincitive look.

Overall tone of the boat (to me) is dark. Hard to tell from drawing, but nothing looks like it will "POP".

Bill, don't forget the rendering does not show the true color of the orange to yellow fade. THAT will make it pop!!

And I like the blue. The color we picked is a vibrant cobalt blue mettalic.

If you get your rendering to the point your happy than the boat usually turns out better. These renderings just dont do the end product justice. Pat was posting pics. frequently of mine but when i saw it in person i was blown away. Give the painter a little latitude to make subtle changes as he goes along.

Shawn, thanks for your input. Looks like your idea is garnering the most votes. :cool:

And your boat is smokin'.

You just had to throw that up here didn't you. :D
