i like the old look better, but i wouldn't do either if it was my boat, I would do a simple two color job that let the lines of the boat speak for themselves.

My previous Formula was a 311, and I never got sick of driving that boat... it was awesome!

I love the look and colors of the new FasTechs, but I would use this design for the engine hatch, with colors that would compliment the exterior paint scheme...

What is the condition of the rest of the boat? Are you talking outside paint or everything? Speaking from experience........it's an endless and thankless job!

The interior is at the upholstery shop. I was never a fan of the 80s interior color scheme. I like the new look of the interior. And for the exterior it fades after a few days out in the sun. Yes it is a great looking boat but i dont want to wax and wheel every 2-3 weeks. I was thinking of havin the boat wrapped in the new silver graphics. to set off the new interior. I was thinking of having the boat repainted white $5000 or $3000 for the wrap or $13000 for a custom paint job. But at the end of the day the original boat colors are not worth $13000 to have them redone.

I thought of white just for the resale purpose. Seems boring tho. I do like the BIRD idea on the new interior instead of the tribel...

If you are atall concerned w/ reasale don't touch it, or at most wrap it. Looks good as is. Get a Full Cover? Hope that's not offensive. Rich
