In Simple Praise of Plain White Boats
Sometimes the absence of color on a catamaran or V-bottom is truly beautiful, https://www.offshoreonly.com/article...in-white-boats.

Yeah I prefer White especially in Florida, easy for the kids to crawl around on the boat and not get burnthttps://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...aeccef98af.jpg

Always been a all white fan as well. As Dean stated it really helps in FL with the sun and heat, also it is always classic and clean. Never goes out of style.

I wholeheartedly agree! I love the stormtrooper SV29 :) I would do some shady stuff to be able to own that boat.

I will never understand why every painter or buyer feels the need to make some of these beautiful hulls look like they crashed into the paint truck. Most of them don't even respect the lines of the hull when they do the paint jobs. The sharpest boats are the ones with the simplest paint jobs, that DCB in the article is amazing!

Paint on boats (IMO) has been overdone for years. It is an art form and credit to those who do the incredible work but for me, 'Less is more'. I love to see the amazing paint jobs, fantastic for getting noticed, stand out at shows, display the talent of the artists but I wouldn't want it on my boat. Probably just a sign of the times and proof I'm stuck in my own time warp, happy to read a few more positive comments on here, I'm not alone...! RR . |
Huge on white or simple classy paint jobs. Just ordered my new white Ford truck. The truck I just sold was white. My van is white. Never been big on the kitchen sink paint jobs.

An excellent technical skill set is required to paint a boat correctly and a artistic mind is required to also paint a boat correctly. Sometimes the two don't converge.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...2d14e8c40a.jpg I agree, White is timeless on a boat. Loved the old Gun in White, Along with my Mini Gun. Always clean! Only Color was a Blue Transom on the Gun.https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...d14f254d28.jpg |

Never been a fan of white boats but Late Fee's and Necessary Evil are both gorgeous boats.

I love not having to worry about scratching a fancy paint job at the dock anymore and so does the wife. She's much more relaxed, now. :)

Will do our best to follow the previous owners' tradition, white boat and a colorful crew.

I used to own an all white boat 20+ years ago. Keep hoping my next boat will be white but I keep on buying used boats with little choice..:) Aussie build Riviera Diavolo. Sorry for the poor photo. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...6a1f78b18b.jpg |
My old Pantera and my current Sutphen, love the all white classic lines....https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...c21f28844.jpeghttps://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e1c38fdc9.jpeg |

One truth about white boats. They will never go out of style. The same cannot be said about any of the latest "fad" colors or patterns.

Working on a project that will be either Snow White with white pearl or a light silver. Here are some parts I’m in Snow White, but only as a last “primer” hand to see the errorshttps://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...a82d87ab0.jpeg These are pics of the subbed. No molds outside the hull and cap, all the pieces are hand made; foam and glass, so lots of corrections to get perfect flat surfaces https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...0f5c37497.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...6877e6086.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...435d99c31.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...71ad39611.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...83c652a3e.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...42f763bea.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...51f8795f2.jpeg |
