"Classy" colour schemes
 

While the paint that most of the big offshore's wear is undeniably in your face eye-catching and appropriate it obviously isnt to everyones taste hence questionable reputations etc...

trouble is you dont see many sophisticated or "suave" looking schemes on big v's either. 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

All white and its staying that way!

Your boat is prob my fav of all time. From the color to the power(and of course the marker) it is what I would label my "dream" boat. From the tinted window to the red pad it breaks it up just enough to really POP!


Always enjoy seeing it posted.

Its for sale I believe! Could be yours!

While I am in the market....that one is a bit out of this 30 year olds wallet size.

Trying to keep my retirement fund for the time being lol.

My Formula as well as two other silver versions...

I think my Cig looks pretty darn good for a solid color.
Granted it looks different in person since then you can see the ghosted in cigarette and lipship logo

Dont look bad all white and made for an easy paint job.

Take a look at the blue hull Cafe Racer being talked about in the Cig section. Pure timeless class.

Just saw it on powerboatlistings.com

CLEAN boat at a good price.

And by timeless class you mean it looks like every cruiser on the lake?

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

I guess it looks like a cruiser until it starts up and blasts across the lake. I love the classic paint jobs, carry on...

I don't have a pic handy but I'm sure someone does and I believe the owner is a member here, the red/white Cig at the show last year hands down, someone repost the pic so I can save it again

:thankyouthankyou:

I always like the timeless paint schemes. Of course I am Bias.. Love the boats on this thread!

I appreciate most of the really nice paint work on the newer boats and for the most part, pictures don't do them justice. 99% of the time they look a lot better in person.

Sometimes it takes away from the lines of the boat though and thats what I really like the look of.. The classics are the boats that I fell in love with in the late 70's and I'm still partial to them.

Some others that I like.

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?

I LOVE TO SHOW HER OFF!!!

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 really fell in love with the Mitchell T paint job on my boat... Its simple.

That Cafe Racer does not look like every Clorox bottle on the lake. But we can disagree.

Timeless. Classy. You mean like this?

Timeless style and panache, boat and driver.

Love this!

I've seen this boat up in Traverse city 2 yrs ago. it is really Wickedwon!!! I wounder how fast it is???

Until it gets chased down by the 400ss w/525s with the same blue hull sides...

one of my favorite boats and paint scheme ,elegant and simple

I agree Brian......

I like mine on my new boat its not to much but still turns heads
