I, for one, prefer a lighter bottom color and the boot stripe following the chine.

Go with ice blue hull Matterhorn white for the inside and shark white for the bottom

Here is blue with a white stripe.
 

Disregard the bottom color. But I figured the pic might help?

Blue and green
 

Can't beat #1...

Go for it! BTW console worked out great. Two thumbs up.

Gents, thanks for the input. After a bit of research and soul searching I've decided to have only the interior painted. If I have time I plan to wet sand and compound the hull, apply gray bottom paint and re-do the boot stripe with flag blue Interlux Brightsides. I'll post progress pics.

Cheers,
Mike

i really like the blue white green on hooligans boat. Does the dark blue hull fade or get chalky looking with age? Sharp look.
