Lesterus, Thanks for the compliments! About the stripe, the previous owner painted the outside of the boat with awlgrip, therefore if there was a stripe it got deleted prior to prime and paint.

I actually happen to like the plain look. To me it makes it look nice and clean (and the fish haven't complained yet). Everybody has different taste when it comes to things like color, stripes, etc. and I happen to be a "no-stripe" guy ;)

Now if the stripe were there, would I bother to take it off? I doubt it, I'm too lazy to tackle a cosmetic-related job. ::)
