2112 Don't worry about the red gelcoat you'll have plenty of time to wax it while waiting for a Ford Marine Mechanic to fly into Washington State. :D:D:D



It's a joke please just a joke don't crucify me please.. We're still here to laugh, No? I had to do it!!!:D:D:D

GLH;

Crucify you? You have only raised accurate and salient issues. You are a prolific poster and I enjoy both your sense of humor and wisdom gained directly through experience.

When I started this thread, your opinion was one of those I was anxious to hear.

I am not a "Ford Snob" BTW. In fact, I am jealous that mercury has chosen to base their line up on Chev products. I secretely hope that GM pisses them off with this vortec stuff so they will go elsewhere.

(I know the aftermarket (dart/merlin etc)will always be there for them and I also know that Ford is not interested in pushrod technology any more so the likelihood of them getting in bed together is between slim and none.

As of Sunday night, Pacific Coast time the tally is as follows;

Option 1; 3 votes

Option 2; 8 votes

combo(deck 2 on hull 1) 7 votes

Leave as is; 1 vote

I agree too. #2 deck on #1 hull. But....

Tell me I'm not crazy here, but if you put the deck of #2 on #1 it bascially makes the oval for the Cigarette logo.

Granted it would require a little ingenuity, but you could have the biggest Cigarette logo ever made across the top of the entire boat!

A very, very rough idea of what I mean below.

Hmmm, tough choice! I do like the "old school" style of #1, but the deck graphics on #2 look great, so I'd combine the two. #2 is nice but it looks a bit too "also ran" with all the other busy graphics out there these days, do something different and go your original route, with a bit of a twist.

And the idea of the "giant" Cig. logo on the deck!? Things that make you go hmmmmm! Could look pretty ballsy!:cool:

I AGREE!!!!!
Definitely #2....

Three new variations, thanks Gus

#1

#2 Simplified a bit of previous #2

#3 with wider stripe down deck. Last two had no stripe, this is to check differences since several did not like it

Now #2, #2 modified and #3 are the prettiest and most unique.
