Yeah baby! That's blue carbon fiber vinyl too. (The white is regular.) Should be a trick accent especially with the new carbon fiber panels they installed.

very cool macklin, bet you can't wait for friday to get here. what color is the swim platform going to be? i love the look of the seats as well.
the blue air vent on the starboard in back bugs me, not sure why though.
love your boat congrats!!!!!!

Sydwayz 04-24-2007 08:13 PM

Me too. The white transom is not what we discussed and looks really odd. Needs to be all blue.

Pat, we need to talk!

But the name will make it all look good once it gets done.

h2owarrior 04-25-2007 10:24 AM

Beautiful boat. Congratulations.

It makes we want to ask Pat to build us another one:eek: Almost.

I am not sure Pat would even build me another one come to think of it:eek: If you have ever met me, you will understand that:drink:

Macklin, That is a great lookin' boat. I am sure you will really enjoy it. Make sure you go on one of the Thunder Runs. Most of the people:rolleyes: who buy an AT are an absolute blast to be around. :evilb:

Looking good. Congrats! Agree the transom needs to lose the white. Otherwise paint looks great. Enjoy! :drink:

At the very least change the stbd. vent out for a white one. I think that will make it flow better.

Mentalpause 04-25-2007 06:19 PM

Looks great Macklin - congrats.

chuckbeecher 04-25-2007 09:14 PM

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.

Macklin 04-26-2007 06:32 AM

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.

dkwestern 04-26-2007 06:55 AM

Looks great in the water!

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
