thanks for the "clean" complioment. I just felt the blue from Ford "compimented" the boat nicely so I went with it.

I was even thinking GM Corporate blue, like what they had In the late 70's and 80's.

This is what I ended up doing on my small blocks. Rattle can Rustoleum engine black with a blue and high temp clear finish. Clear made it durable to fuel. Picture doesn't do justice.
