Someday mine will be black.

I've considered black. It'd be beautiful. Just gotta talk the wifey into it. She's thinking a light gray.

lots of black boats around here, dont do it, it will show every little scratch

That's what I was thinking - a black car looks good for about a week until it scratches. I don't want to have to baby my boat.

Yea we discussed it a little tonight and blacks out of the question. She said the same thing, any imperfection will show. Looking like its gonna be a light pewter color. I think it'll have a slick, clean look.

Summer sun + Black paint = HEAT!!!!! DON'T DO IT!!!. There's a reason boats are made with white as the number one color. If you must paint the boat I'd go with a light color.. like a lime green for instance.

Hey Skunkboat, was checking out your videos. In the Striper 2015 video I saw a USS Briscoe hat. My dad was on the Briscoe for many years when she was in Norfolk. I spent a lot of time on that boat when I was a kid. Pretty cool to see a Briscoe vet.

TMC Rose ring a bell? He was on her 88-91. Actually he may have been PO1 until after you left. I don't think he made TMC until right before he left in 91.

Don't recall any Torpedoman named Rose. Maybe he changed rates. There was a GMM1/GMC Rose. He worked on ASROC. A real character. Called everyone "dick bump"... gruff but with a wink & a smile
