The new proofs are much better. I will buy the rear shot. I am thinking about buying the higher front shot; It only needs to be centered. One question I need help with though is which version of the other pic should I order. One is way brighter yellow than the other but does look like the true color of my boat. So which version of the third pic?

The first picture looks fine from what I can tell
the second one looks good
third one appears to be pretty good, hard to tell
Fourth one is terrible. Looks like a third grader did it in paintshop pro. Doesnt look natural at all. (could just be the super small size) (doubt it though)

Thanks. I am agreeing on the last one being too bright at this time. The third one looks nice, the last is much brighter. I'm going to try to enlarge them.

I got the pics bigger.

I got my final proofs. I will order high quality 16x20 prints of all three for $250 each. I'm very happy with these.
CORRECTION! Tom @ BoatPix gave me a $250 discount! I'm getting the three prints for $525 delivered! Thank You Tom!

I assume those are low resolution because they are proofs and the actual prints will be much better quality?

Yes, those are very low resolution because most of us know that water marks can be removed.

They all look better in non retouched form, to the point where I can't tell if this thread is a joke or not.

How did you get proofs from boat pix's? when i checked they wanted to be paid upfront and then would refund you whatever you returned, but that seems to be the scam part of it, they tell people that they never got anything returned or some excuse like that.

They took some pics of my Formula couple years ago and would have been nice to have some running shots but not worth dealing with a so so company.

+1.

I would toss any of those even if they sent them to me for free. Sorry, but those pictures are lame.

Boatpix and SeaTow are the biggest scammers in the boating world.
