I am having the complete cockpit vinyl (and engine cover) recovered very soon. I have a 2003 260. The Hull is solid white (no graphics) and the cockpit is currently white, red and black. I was looking at some of the newer offshore boats (not necessarly Velocity) and I notice a lot of the newer boat builders are using the "carbon fiber" pattern vinyl. I had originally though about just doing the black and red accent and insert pieces with "carbon fiber" vinyl and just doing the white in a traditional vinyl pattern.

So I am looking fo some opinions..... Should I jsut use the carbon pattern vinyl for the red and black parts and do the white in a traditional vinyl? Or should I go all out and do the complete cockpit with the carbon pattern?

Here is a link to the interion pieces. http://site.activesportsunglasses.co...rior_work.html

Also I am considering adding a 4th color to the interior. I was thinking of doing a Carbon fiber silver in between the red and black areas. Currently there are white inserts between the red and black, so basically changing that to silver.

My ultimate goal is to change out the swim platform from the fiberglass one to an anodized red aluminum platform and also having a full vinyl wrap done with red, black and silver graphics.

I need you opinions asap. I need to make my decision and get this stuff into the shop asap in order to insure it will be done by early spring.... Thanx in advance guys!!

let me know if you want to sell you old platform

One of the reasons I am looking to switch it out is it is pretty banged up. It looks like the previous owner hit pretty much everything they could with it........... There is quite a bit of spidering and some pretty good chips..........

I think putting some carbon fiber in would be cool.

I'd also change the "V" on the sunpad to red, with Carbon fiber outline.

Ditch the big strip of black on the rear bench, and make the Red and carbon fiber pop out a little more.

should be pretty cool when its done. good luck

Carbon Fiber to Replace the Black sounds like a great plan to me.
I like Orange better than Red when used with Carbon Fiber.
It will look nicer eitherway if you ditch the black...IMHO

Well now you guys have me thinking........... Maybe get rid of the black and replace it with Carbon Silver.......Hmmmm.. Keep the ideas coming!!

have you ever thought about changing the white. mine is white and i and going to go back with a real light gray plus the strips or something as the white seems to show everything that touches it

Only problem with going to a grey is the entire boat is white. Mine has no graphics so a grey interior would look out of place on a solid white boat...

I'd go with carbon fiber gray, blue and orange.
Then add some stripes to the boat to match.
TMone here on OSO did Grey carbon fiber in his all white 24' Pantera and it looks great...

I like the red. I have spent a decent chunk of change adding red LED lights through out the boat and the red anodized gauge bezels and wheel... Plus my last boat had a grey and blue interior.....
