Les, I would love to see another boat with the wheat color, understated and unique.

All boats should be white . Any boat dealer will tell you that . That way you never have the wrong color in stock . That's also the reason they invented Awlgrip paint !

Just painted the master bathroom Benjamin Moore Muslin with Simply White trim. Muslin would be a good upholstery color as it looks good with white and black -- piping or accent.

Could do a white hull with black striping and light tan non skid -- I had all of my Ranger 20 sailboats done with the light tan non skid. Also had black anodized masts on most of them.

I have to agree with bill on the non skip. The boats with a off white or tan non skid just look better and even thought it has nothing to do with workmanship or quality it leaves an impression of a higher class boat to me. I don't know if it changes the cost or its just something you have to pick out ahead of time but if i was to order a boat today, and you build to order, a tan non skid and a colored hull would be top on my list.

No shortage of ideas out there. Regardless of color choice the
Marinaut is going to look great at the show. As a personal preference
I would opt for the white or light interior for the feeling of roominess
and accented with teak trim, tan non-skid would be a nice touch and distinguish
itself from the norm. As an exterior color I would have to
go with Cabernet (for which you may call me hopelessly prejudicial).

Ahhhh, Les, international orange or lime green should only be
considered if you plan on throwing a hell'uva a party on the boat
at the show! As a sidelight, I looked at a 22' CD in Washington
in the early '90s that was done in international orange and have to
admit.............the color was impressive. The image is still with me.

Les, I'm working on a process to create a paisley gel coat. Once I get that worked out, we're going for plaid. Both would look awesome on a Marinaut. Wink

Les;

On Sea Angel I placed 'Dry Deck' under the cabin carpet runner. The has added some cushion and allowed it to 'breath', so no mold and easy to keep clean. It isn't cheap, but effective. I believe it took me abt an hour to custom fit the squares in place.

Not sure if there is a cost effective way to do it, but I like gold trim. A dark green and tan hull with anodized gold (aluminum) windows frames and trim, is there a way to make the bow rail gold?
