    Hull color opinions

    How about going with the standard hull color and then wrapping it n the color of your choice? Assuming the following is true: get any color you like, no fading/chalking, no worries about resale issues due to color choice, no ghosting, hull will be like new if/when the wrap is peeled. I am not...

    Sea deck

    1) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I just think when a boat is covered in the stuff, it looks too busy and tacky. I like plain and simple. I just don't get why people want to cover their boat in the stuff. Just my opinion. --- however, I guess if one is trying tp make a deck less...

    Sea deck

    IMO 1) It looks tacky (admit it already). 2) I doubt it will hold up as well as advertised (likely just until the warranty period is over). 3) what could be "easier" than plain white gel coat? 4) why spend the $$$ (better things to spend money on)? 5) do you really believe it is lower...

    Not sure if it will fit the cutouts, but I am very happy with my FUSION unit.

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    Looks really nice!! I have often thought that wrapping would be a good factory applied option as an alternative to colored gel coat.

    Trailering question

    Basic Canvas/Upholstery -

    Hi, I just bought a brand new SailRite LS1. SailRite also sells a material with a backing that prevents the material from fraying. Thanks for words of encouragement.

    Basic Canvas/Upholstery -

    Hi, I am very good with my hands and like to make things. However, I don't like to waste materials, so I don't want to be making things that don't have a use. My current boat has spray wings and a leaning post cover and that's it for canvas. I just bought a heavy duty sewing machine and plan...
