i think the answer to the why you don't see a lot of whalers done in line-X on this site, is that most folks here like to keep them as close to original as possible. If they do plan to make modifications, then typically they try and do them in the spirit of the original.
I would ask, why do you feel the need to Line-X your 15? Is the deck so bad that it's beyond saving or is it beyond your skill level to repair?
The deck on the 15 is not bad. Nor is it above my skill level. The deck on the 21 Outrage is bad! I am looking at it more for a easier turn around and not having to deal with issues/scratches in the future. I am a boat user. I like taking care of my stuff but I don't obsess over keeping it clean all the time, that is why I am thinking of having the deck sprayed. I have seen some older boats sprayed with the "stipple" in the decks and thought the Line-x was better looking. The 15 is a std sport that I am changing to a Striper style with teak. I was not going to use White. I have heard the same things about the white Line-x. I was going to go with light blue (I think the Awlgrip Boston Whaler Blue is too dark) inside and white awlgrip on the hull. I guess it all comes down to personal choice?
