Obviously there is the odd solid dark blue/silver/black hull which looks nice but doesnt really pop out with its own panache and style. I would be interested to see what or if anyone has thought about this before
It has to be 3d or look like it's moving ( motion). I think that's it.
I am debating changing the look of this boat. But i like how it looks now too. The pic here that kinda gives the impression the stripe looks like it's kicking up water if you look at it. Any thoughts?

Panache? Sure you're not a sail boater?

One thing I've always loved about my boat is that it just LOOKS fast...I think the red does it. The red windscreen too.

Its simple and classic.

Here is the new GTMM 39 (Dragon). Very elegant faded blue.

Who is going to be the first to post their boat with the Affliction wrap?

I like performance boats to look flashy and detailed, or one color with accents like the white one above. The solid stripe just doesn't do it for me
That Cafe Racer does not look like every Clorox bottle on the lake. But we can disagree.
