That looks killer just like that but as always I'm a huge fan of color matched towers.

+1 on a black tower

Black that tower out and you are good to go.

(polarbill) · (polarbill) **Join Date: Jun 2003** 02-15-2011, 1:24 PM

I think it looks ok minus the crazy blue vinyl.

(wakereviews) · (wakereviews) **Join Date: Sep 2006** 02-15-2011, 1:27 PM

try this...

(hatepain) · (hatepain) **Join Date: Aug 2006** 02-15-2011, 1:48 PM

Yeah thats better. I thought that was an interior gel coat.

(polarbill) · (polarbill) **Join Date: Jun 2003** 02-15-2011, 1:48 PM

I like the first one better with the second one's vinyl. In my opinion bright colors like that blue should be used as accents and more nuetral colors(black, white, gray) shoudl be used for the main hull bottom, hull sides and deck.

That looks good. I think it is kind of weird how the vinyl in the bow and combing pads are dark gray and the sundeck are white. That dark gray might be ridiculously hot. Others have mentioned a blacked out tower but I would like to see a mock up of it. I kind of like the tower to match the windshield frame. Here is my shot at the colors.

Then again just black and blue look good as well.

^ I like that the best so far....

(Bumpass1) · (Bumpass1) **Join Date: Oct 2010** 02-15-2011, 4:01 PM

Black blue black is pretty sharp

(polarbill) · (polarbill) **Join Date: Jun 2003** 02-15-2011, 4:16 PM

The reason I like that mostly black with a little blue is that it just seems to make the bright blue pop more. When you start mixing more then 2 colors it starts to dull down the look in my opinion.

YEah I like the last two the best so far... another vote for the black tower...

(hatepain) · (hatepain) **Join Date: Aug 2006** 02-15-2011, 5:49 PM

Woops! Yeah I hadn't realized you switched it either but the second one you did with the interior in gray looks great as does Bretts. I remember a while back the was a Sanger V237 that was all that bright blue with a black graphics that looked killer too in real life.

I'm pretty traditional, but this is what I'd build if I was ordering one of these boats.

(Joe) · (Joe) **Join Date: Feb 2011** 02-26-2011, 10:45 AM

I like the last to boat designs and interior. I would recommend not doing a dark color as main color on the interior. I think you would regret it in the summer. As far as the tower being powder coated black I could go either way. I probably would have it polished to match the other boat components. Look forward to seeing what you decide. Your last years (oragne) boat was great.

Ian you need change that blue to orange. You know how I like the orange boats. The one you had last year was sick!!!

The Last one!!!!

(tuneman) · (tuneman) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 03-02-2011, 10:55 AM

My vote is lose the grey and go with the black and blue (2nd one Brett posted). The grey just looks faded.

Also, ask them to leave off the B52 logo (stupid placement).

(gotwake133) · (gotwake133) **Join Date: May 2010** 03-02-2011, 5:16 PM

Figured I would do a quick photoshop on the pic and put in a black tower, sorry for the sloppiness, just did it quick.

^^^ looks like one of my kids took a Sharpie to my monitor!

(gotwake133) · (gotwake133) **Join Date: May 2010** 03-02-2011, 9:11 PM

Okay, I will be the first to admit that was not a very good color replacement. But its a little harder than just clicking on the tower and changing it to black. I cleaned it up a little for you, but I think it gets the point across that the boat looks good with a black, or sharpie drawn tower.

(polarbill) · (polarbill) **Join Date: Jun 2003** 03-02-2011, 9:49 PM

Travis, that does look good. I know Iam probably isn't going to get it done but if you have time you want to make the windshield fram black?

(brett564) · (brett564) **Join Date: Jul 2006** 03-02-2011, 11:07 PM

I vote for Ian Brown's.

(surffresh) · (surffresh) **Join Date: Jun 2010** 03-03-2011, 4:46 AM

they all look good, just not sure on the black tower

(wakereviews) · (wakereviews) **Join Date: Sep 2006** 03-03-2011, 5:36 AM

The last design I put on there is the one I ended up going with. I am 50/50 on the black tower right now. Acme Tops and TUnes is going to do blue interior LED lighting and I have Samson S7HD speakers going on it too. Went with the Krypt X860 underwater LED's too. The black tower does look slick, and I haven't seen any MB with this tower in black before ever... so might be good to make it the first. Thanks for the photoshop!

(gotwake133) · (gotwake133) **Join Date: May 2010** 03-03-2011, 10:17 AM

I do like the black windshield frame.

(wakereviews) · (wakereviews) **Join Date: Sep 2006** 03-03-2011, 10:25 AM

yeah, that looks pretty good, might have to give that a whirl too, we'll see.
