Default Thoughts on this simple paint idea

It's not 1995 anymore and the turquoise, purple, and yellow color scheme on my little outlaw is about as modern as Zach Morris's brick sized cell phone. I'm thinking about something like this instead.



Although a couple of my friends have said they think it's too plain. I need the opinions of some seasoned powerboat veterans.

Classy and classic but I would add a center stripe in red that comes back and wraps that little raised area right under the windshield. Gives more contrast and stays classic.

A center stripe on the deck and then the raised part of the deck that the fairing bolts to?

I think it's nice and classy. It's your boat not theirs. If you like it the go with it! We all where young once and do you remember that most of the friends where wrong, like saying it won't hurt etc etc. plus if you get crazy on graphics then you narrow your buyers down. Classy never closes that gap.

I think the picture is deceiving because the black looks flat. Once you get a nice gloss black on the boat i think it will look awesome. The previous owner of my Baja did the same thing but in red. It looks good.

I love those paint schemes. Maybe add the Baja logo towards the back but I like it.

black hull sides and a white deck always look good. The red hard chine stripe looks good but not sure on the red vents and swim platform. A stainless quarter round rub rail really looks good with this combo to

I like it... but... I would do the faring black and add some red letters on the faring and add a red \ silver \ grey logo, and maybe not do the red vents, but I would do the platform red like you have it... but like was said above its YOUR boat do as YOU like.
