Default Sneak Peek—Stephen Miles Design Painting 32 GSX Center Console

Though Stephen Miles has designed graphics for GSX models, the 32-footer is the first one he’s painted, https://www.speedonthewater.com/snea...enter-console/

Sometimes they definitely do. But things ... cycle.

I don't see "theme boats" making a comeback but classics kind of always return—and now and then they return with a new twist.

As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As a guy who owns a bright yellow, red and purple boat, as well as a bright yellow Mustang GT convertible, I’ll take vibrant, flashy and wild colors anytime. And I’m 68 yrs old and still not tired of those paint schemes.

i don,t think theme boats will ever go out of style seeing sorcerer come back to life at the charity poker run with out of control and speed racer was awesome and timeless the all dark gray 36- 40 foot cat with 500s was terrible and very hard to see on the water i just don,t get why unless your hauling black oops navy seals around i think they should split this site up and make an old school version well thats my 2 cents anyhow

Going to gently disagree. Here's why.

If "out of style" translates to orders for those paintjobs, they are beyond out of style. No one is ordering them, and I contend that the only one to truly stand the test of time is Speed Racer. For some reason, it's never been off the water.

Baring anyone's taste, the problem with theme boats is resale. They are so specific that they limited the buying audience.
