What say you the masses? Fill in the checkers or go with a whole new paint scheme. Need some ideas. :thumbup:

What's wrong with the way it is?

Nothing really. I would just like to get a more modern color scheme. Checkers is a little 90's. Now if it was an 80's color scheme, I wouldn't touch it. :D

I like the checkers. It was always one of my favorite designs on boats.

The boat already has headers and the engine is reliable and solid. I'm not messing with it. :D

Is yours a 22 as well? Looks like you've got a teal pinstripe (mine does not). That's just enough to call our separate boats "custom". :D

How do you like how it rides?

My $.02 is both boats look pretty damn good, I wouldn't touch them unless there was damage. Ten years from now a new M35 will look dated and yours wiil look classic...:thumbup:

I would change it. Fill in the checkers and maybe have an all purple rear and 86 the teal and maybe add a grey in there. It will def update thr look.

Looks good as it is, but if you do decide to change it, take a look at the work that Kevin does at KMG. He does some amazing stuff :thumbup:

I don't have teal. Might fill in the purple though. That's the original direction I was thinking if I change it at all.

knucklehead. :D

I've seen Kevin's work up close. He's one of the best. I would take it to him most likely since he is local.

This is what will most likely happen...nothing. :D

I don't quite understand how you would fill in the gel coat checkers. With paint. ? :headscratch:

Sure, checkers are a bit dated but it's the entire theme of your boat and, I would venture to say, it's one of the cleanest and nicest checker themes out there. I'd keep it, if it were me.

There is something honest about things looking their age. As long as they are in excellent condition, it can add value in some instances.

mine does have the teal. so we do have custom gel coats.

rides great i just need a little more power. i have the silent exhaust and no headers. i was told get headers and have it dump in the back would get me to 60mph right
now i can hit 55mph on a good day. just don't want to spend that much money for 5mph

Haven't you heard.... The 90's are the new 80's. I think it looks good the way it is. Paint on a family boat is not always a good combination.

I would have to agree with you to keep it as is. The inmates have spoken loud and clear.
