I really like black / silver / purple.
That's my cousins boat. Awesome ride. I love the colors on my Firefox as well.

Idea on the bolsters...

Have the cigarette handles to hold on to, have the bolster really hold you in but not to bulky, have the outer two bolsters have a flip up seat, have the center one have a flip up step made like the billet foot rest emblems. Maybe even a two step deal. 99% of the time nobody sits and if they want to then just dont choose center seat. (could be two oval logos that come forward from the bulk head of the engine room and stagger down for an easy entrance) or one from bulkhead and one that raises from a hydraulic lift off the floor, when down its flush with the floor. The center step would save a lot of wear and tear of getting in and out of the cockpit. Also a two step deal with the cig billett oval looking like they are floatig I think would be original and classy.

Interesting setup and consideration. I really love the flip up steps for the center seat which makes a lot of sense. The outer two seats are the really bolster setups and the most comfortable with the cig handles probably close to where the original design is. Will discuss with cir. Thanks much.

i know it has been a while, but after many design and graphic considerations, we now have a good working design. We used blue in place of too much black from the original design. Not sure if less blue or the introduction of another color makes sense. I welcome your comments.

On a technical note, the deck and hull is in still in the mold. All stringers were redesigned for the 1100 setup. It will not be a full stagger like the 700's but much better than the 1075's. The 1100's are not quite as wide as the 1075's due to the 1075's headers which are cast on the 1100's and run much closer to the block before energizing the turbos.

Thanks ALL
KEN

So it's gone from silver and black concept to silver and blue. I think it looks awesome.

It would be interesting to see a mock up with a little black highlight in between the silver and blue. It might create more contrast. Or perhaps the addition of another color..

Looks awesome Ken, love the blue and silver. The black also adds a nice look. Who is helping with the design?

I'm not making the designs, but I'm advising Ken on what looks good, like adding a little bit more blue to the original gray design. Stands out better, less bland.
