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.

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.

Talking

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.

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.

i dont think painting the outer hull black, or any other dark color would make it hot. the deck or interior surfaces yea, that would burn your *** up but the exterior... dont think it would make any difference at all.

black would be a lot of work, both to paint it and to maintain it. but i think it would look awesome on that v20 flare. i would love to see one.

i think in 2015 seahunt introduced their new pewter color. it looks good. and one of the builders, cant remember which one, just introduced a sharkskin grey color that i thought was pretty sharp

all i know is black is beautiful, yall are racist
