I like the one on the left, but then again I like fades.. Purple haze looks awesome. Post pics when finished. Harold does a great job in designing schemes and does an even better job painting them.

I'd go with the no fade for the following reason. You can't do the fade that the right one shows on the sunpad unless someone has some purple fade vinyl which I've not seen. On the 42X they tie the interior to the sun pad with the white center strip. Yours has the purple center stripe.
On your's you're going to have the white to the outsides of the sunpad and butt up against the purple fade of the exterior of the boat. I don't think that fits as well. I am sure you can work the design over some but I think with the deck fade then to solid colors on the sunpad it just doesn't flow right. (see attached) I guess you could go with a lighter purple vinly on the outsides of the sunpad rather than white but then you're going to have to do something with the top of the rear seat where it meets the sunpad. If you leave it all white it won't flow.
Plus the new style inteiors lend themselves better to multiple colors on the vinyl that help tie it together the graphics and the back seats end differently against the sunpad in the new boats, not with the flat piece that ties them together. The older style interiors the look best mostly white and I think the more defined colors work better, but then thats just my opinion.

Michele,
I have been doing some thinking about your new paint and graphics situation. You may want to go with a more simple type of graphics. I do not know how talented tour painter is. See what type of work he has done in the past and take it from there, or, ship the boat to Harold and get it done right. And, don't forget, the more simple graphics you have, the easier it is for repairs. Just my opinion.
