once again...Leave it

Looks good Ron, I would have to agree with everybody else so far and say leave it. Looks "year" appropriate(sp).

Damn good job Rod.....and I still like the before paint.....

keep the stripe

definatly keep it

Guess I'm the only one who likes it without the target running down the center of the deck. The cleaner the better for me. 

I hated the 80's when we were doing 8, 9, 10 ,11 or more colors and pin lines on a boat. My rule of thumb, if you wouldn't paint your car like that, why in the hell would you do it to a boat?

Since the stripe is already on, I would leave it and go with the retro look. Don't forget to call Salvador!

I think Rod likes the striped one! It reminds him of a dildo

i would leave it i also have a tr with original gel coat and will be polishing my az off to keep that 8os funk iwant to set the pump back has anybody done this on one of these

I went back and forth on this thing all weekend. The stripe is gone. My original concept was to make it a 70's era paint job. The stripe actually gave it a year. That narrowed the time line down to much.
Paint schemes identify a boats year, like old rigger said. I wanted this one to look like a classic jet boat with just 2 colors, simple and clean, no year attached to it.  Many of you who said to keep the stripe (80's funk) actually talked me out of it.  Thanks for your input. Ron

Which boat will you most likely be bringing to Parker? This creamsicle looks pretty slick so far, good choice on the without BTW.

Looks like its almost done at the painters.
