I really like the paint scheme, it looks retro to me.

Yes GLH;

That boat is the inspiration. The long deck, small cockpit and low windscreen and hatch of the Gladiator really lent itself well to doing a "retro" look.

I have always liked that layout. I think it looks as god today as it did 3 decades back. I just tweaked it a bit with the red bottom.

My first two boats were all blue, top to bottom. this time it was fine tuned to give a true Cigarette feel.

I had a Red boat for about five years.
Never again.
I had to wax that deck every two weeks so it would not oxydize, sides were not nearly as bad. I think a white deck is very wise.

Yes the blue boats are hard to keep. I built myself a shop and pull the boat in on Sunday night and get her nice for the next week end.

But man to dark colors look rich.

Great choice of colors ( its good that you are OK with and used to the upkeep ), love the retro feel / vibe to it. It will definately turn heads / provoke conversations / have female tops vanish
