We’re using a take off of native American Indian Kokopelli figures for the event flyer art for a wakeboarding event in Columbus Ohio. I’ve really come to like the figures and have begun thinking about adding vinyl figures to the Mighty Centurion. I have had a lot of support from the wakefuring community and could show these supporters on top of the Kokopelli surfer dude's board. I like one simple surfer dude at the back of the boat. I could put a Larger one underneath the Lightning graphics. Or I could put all three characters toward the stern. I thought about making a daisy chain, a tribe of Kokopelli’s but I think that’s over kill. What do you think? <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/427758.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/427759.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/427760.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/427761.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/427762.jpg" alt="Upload">

no... honostly I dont think it fits the look of your boat at all. If you removed the lightning graphics and made the new ones you're looking at larger then perhaps, otherwise I wouldn't do it. But it is your boat and thats just one mans opinion.

I'd keep the Lightning graphic. There's a real hard seem on the hull that I think I’d want to avoid. <BR> <BR>I like just the small Kokopelli at the stern, but thought I'd play with the ideas a little, and get a little input. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/427775.jpg" alt="Upload">

Wouldn't that be covered by the water line?

bigshow 03-25-2007 3:44 PM

Depends on which side I'm wakesurfing. When I have all my ballast in play I not only put the rub rail in the water but I put the Centurion lettering in the water! <BR> <BR>I run about a 20 degree list when I’m wakesurfing, the non weighted side would be completely above the water line. There’s also the on the trailer look. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/427813.jpg" alt="Upload">

Ed I really like the 4th pic. I think it would look pretty cool. I just traded my 5th wheel for a new one make me up a set too and Ill do my new camper

bigshow 03-25-2007 5:19 PM

Ya, but I've seen your boat on line before and she's a beauty, the flames are pretty cool.

I vote for the three on the stern. Make the boat yours and how you like it.

pureblue 03-25-2007 5:57 PM

Ya, I think the 3 on the back side looks pretty cool. Def. looks unique and really interesting.

krbaugh 03-25-2007 6:58 PM

Ed <BR> <BR>I like 1 and 2 might even be cool with both <BR> <BR>Very different look!

Chris, my dealer set me up with a local graphics guy who made custom lettering for my boat when I bought it. I’m going to ask him if he can do the job next week. If you’re interested I’ll shoot you an email with details after I talk to graphics guy. So this year you got a new Supra, new camper, and a new truck, dang! You sold your ’06 21SSV already, right? <BR> <BR>Kevin, you could almost make this art work with the Centurion Air Warrior theme, don’t you think? It would be a more fun and funky Air Warrior graphic. You could make the figures bigger on the newer Centurion hulls, the old 04 Lightning hull has a huge seam where the hull juts out to the rub rail breaking up the graphics space.
