I love the old Formula's. They have some color and flash, but still simple and timeless.

Our Nordic is also pretty simple, 4 colors, and lots of white!

One of my favorite paint schemes on a gorgeous boat.

This boat looks great any other pictures of it?

I love the classic simple look of a solid color on the sides. The look is timeless and classy, yet still makes a statement.

i dont have any more pictures of it, my wife have gone to PIB a few times last summer. every time we have gone, we have seen this cig - this is her favorite boat.

I have a slightly different take.

Having had an almost all white boat once eons ago I agree there is merit to "less is more."

That said my take is that as long as the builder can offer you what you want - and you want less - then it's true.

If you want "more" and the builder cant do it then "less is more" is nothing but a euphemism for "I cant do that".

Well said and I agree 100%.

What amazes me is how few of the over the top paint jobs stand the test of time.
For those that can afford to swap out new boats every few years and stay current with the trends, God bless.
For me, I like a timeless look and feel. With all the "best paint", "worst paint", and "over the top" threads, I was surprised there was not one like this before.

The problem with the builder being able to execute whatever the new owner wishes - is peoples own lousy taste.

The upside to production boats (formula, baja etc.) is the owner gets what he gets and usually cant make it worse with options.

Reminds me of the lime green Laveycraft tunnel "Holy Guacamole" The guy owned an avocado farm and wanted a green striped boat.

It was extremely well executed but ugly as sin.
