Default Wet sanded the grafics off to paint but like the all white

I wet sanded the grafics off over the weekend and i think i like the all white. You can see the old grafics up close but i think they will fade out over time. I thinking of just putting a red fountain logo on back, Your opinions or pics.
thanks

24' Sonic and left it all white and really like it. Wanted to do my last one this way and never did. Now that it's been a blank sheet for a while though it does seem to want something.
Your idea of the logo might be just the ticket on yours and I like the idea.

All white will never look dated . All white gel coat holds up great to Jetski hits, Anchor chains and sandy flip flops .

Love it. There was an era a few yrs back where a lot of builders offered the white out packages and I really liked them. I was going to do my windshield frame and bow hatches in white and changed my mind last minute.

I went to Lake havasu last year to a camp ground.. Just as I pulled in... ( At 6 Am) This chic came Walking fast (practicly running) out of her tent. She said to me " You have the most beautiful Fountain" " You know how rare it is to see an All White 27?" " I am from just down the street from where they build fountains" "That is where I grew Up " I said THANK YOU SO MUCH ! She said "beautiful Boat" and went back nto here tent

depends on how much graphics you have. It takes more time than you think. Grab a few buddys and some beer and go to town.

Good luck!
