Just picked up a new boat 2 months ago, but still going to give her some christmas love. Dropped bolsters off to be re done, 502mag mpi with the arizona speed package ready to drop in, mayfair add on hydraulic steering, bilge painted a nice bright white, blue powdercoated diamond plating on the bilge boxes as well as the upper plenum, hatch lift, and computer tray powdercoated blue. Made a custom carbon fiber wrapped dash panel allowing for 2 extra gauges and spacing for bezels(adding water pressure, and oil temperature gauges), ordered all new mega blue rimmed livorsi gauges with platinum face, polished gauge bezels, and new stereo head unit.
I am trying to figure out if I want to redo my throttle/shifter (keikhefer offshore controls) assembly thats in the boat in blue powder coat, or buy livorsi controls in blue to match the gauges.

Those lines are now a set of 5; 5/8" lines (was 6!) which have not faded, but the braid is a bit looser and they catch more splinters on wood pilings. They were always that way, but time has made them ever so slightly looser. They still look great.
I have pretty big cleats on my boat; and never really had an issue with 5/8" lines, but they don't work too well with smaller cleats.
I just bought another set of 6; 1/2" lines which have a tighter braid; less likely to pick up splinters.
I recommend the 1/2" lines.
I keep both sets on the big boat; and use the old ones for crappy docks and pilings.
Best part is I always come home with all of my dock lines.
