Default Best looking 47 Lightning...

Hi guys,

we are about to paint the hullsides of a 1999 47 Lightning. The boat is now white wth a blue and red pinstripe from the bow to the stern on the sides of the deck and has no deck graphics. The sides are red with Indy-graphics. But what is the best looking... I bet there are many different preferances, but the owner of the boat want to have it "clean" and we are going to have the hull sides painted blue. But it can't be just blue. Fountains look much better with a few stripes on them, I think.

Describe or post a picture of the design you like te most!!

Should be some posts here now. :-)

I will double check but the running shot was taken at about 93mph GPS, it was aired out pretty good. I actually has 700's with NXT gimbals and # 6 drives.
