I sort of like the white upper transom but my question is why is it not "centered" with the white engine hatch.
Too me the offset is what looks out of wack.
The name will show up good on the white and specially if done in the multi colors of the hull and trim colors.

Is the speed for real?

Yes, Pat has figured out that the lack of swim platform ads 2-3mph to the top end. It has to be center of gravity or weight distribution or something.


No, there just busting my chops...

No without the swim platform he's able to mess with the x-dim. that way.:evilb:
Serious the boat looks good in person and the paint is great and if you seen it you would know why it's not centered.I think if the vent was white it would look better.

It wasn't centered because the orginal rendering had blue vinyl going up the sunpad that tied into the blue on the transom. I decided to go with an all white sunpad with just the logo and blue headrests (remember the logo discussions) to be offset by an ALL blue transom. This is where the disconnect occurred.

It's unfortunate for sure, but I hope can be remedied without too much effort.

I think it looks good, but just bring the blue over proportianate like the other side, and run a different color like the green pinstripe the blue sections to set it off. Put your logo in the centered white section, green lettering and your ready to go. The boat is georgeous, has that somewhat understated look to it, which I really like. I think fades blend well, and in my eyes is another excellent example of what's been coming out of the factory. Pay the coin, can't be that much, I bet it costs you only a few cases of beer, Good Luck with your boat. :cool: Jeff
