I like the dark blue with tan insides.... Also like some of the pastels I've seen on big boats. Anybody with picts, love to see them. What do you folks think of painted finish seats instead of varnish? Maybe the same color as the hull.. One of the things this boat does is rides to the beach, sandbars with sandy beach chairs, big wet sandy dogs, gets driven by weekend warriors etc. Been nice having a boat I don't freak out about if it gets a scratch or something... Enough other stuff to worry about. I'd post a picture of the 'Dock Bumper' but you've seen plenty of 13 Sports Edited by afishinado on 09/09/09 - 7:10 PM

I inquired about it, and the "Chief" said :"From F.D's point of view, it's easier to maintain". I beach my 15' a LOT, same thing's go on board as your boat (sandy feet, Crabs, sneaker's, Clam shell's, "look Dad I found a dead Sea gull", etc.). I still "poly" the wood because, I like the way it look's beside's, what would "Spring time" be like without newly invented "Curse" word's being "Spewed" out of the garage when re-finishing the brightwork ?

The interior is painted AwlGrip Matterhorn white, which is a slightly grey white. At the last minute I decided to tone down the yellow abit with the white. I wish I hadn`t, it turned out a bit too creamy, Rich

Light blue interior with the fighting lady yellow hull. Mahogany center console, piolet seat, & rear bench seat. hmmmmm. I'll have to give that more thought. Mahogany looks great against light blue & soft yellow! Mike

It not only sets off the appearance of the boat and makes me go WOW!, but I think it's easier to maintain. That's my penny and a half worth. Mike

Then we primed (545)both the hull and interior. Then we went with Greystone on the interior and eggshell on the hull. Real happy with the outcome.
