Curious if you are thinking of painting the swim platform blue or red or sticking with white?

Im thinking blue for the supports, ladders and outside bar, then white for the center bars. Or I am open for ideas. Im thinking a dark color on the top would be really hot out in the sun, burn the kids feet, any input there? I believe yours is all blue right? Does it get hot?

I had an all white one on my 28 AT - very hard to keep clean

I was thinking either all blue all red would look sweet. Mine is all blue and heat has never been an issue on the platform. It would be cool to see a photoshop of what it would look like colored.

Maybe do like I described above and paint the red heartbeat graphic across the white in the middle of the platform

Ditto. prob the hardest thing on a boat to keep clean. I had my powercoated blue for that reason

It was too nice out today so I skipped out of work early and got the boat! Good trip home, new trailer pulls nice. So I get her home right at dark, then everyone stops by to check it out. They finally leave after dark, and while fumbling around in the dark trying to put the cover on I stepped on the brake line on the trailer where it comes out of the master cylinder and broke the m*therf*cker off, brand new trailer son of a b*tch. So it begins, lol. Now I have 2 projects for the morning. I will post pics tomorrow, didnt have time tonight with all the hubub, wore out from the 6 hour drive. Later all

Here are a few pics in the driveway this morning. Got the swim platform off, thats going to be sandblasted and painted this week. Took the boat to the fiberglass guy to have a couple dings fixed, hopefully I will have it back by the end of the week and can start cleaning, servicing, and redoing the dash. Still thinking blue for the platform, have had a few people tell me I should change the rubrail to white. Im not sure if I want to, anyone out there that can photoshop it for me?

congrats

Dark transom hides the soot! White platforms are a pain to clean but make the boat look longer

Hey Eric.. Glad to see you got her home !! Not saying the white wouldn't look good but the black looks fine... imho... Really happy for you & glad to see you so excited !!!

 

[chrisk]

Dude ........ again congrats ! Boat looks great ! You will love it ! I ran this one a couple times in Ft Myers in the mid 90's . DON'T go with a white rub rail as you will loose the natural CLASSIC line of the hull ! Keep us posted !
