Wifey B: I love the color and personality.
Some boats just feel old and dark and I think yours feels ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We all have our colors that we like and fortunately different for all. Mine is baby blue as in the color of my eyes and, by happenstance, my hubby's eyes and the sky on some days, and the uniforms of the NCAA champion basketball team.
See, it's like the sea shell green...that color just on a wall or a house or something alone and big, my hubby has a not nice name for it and lime green and some of the others, but it's beeeeeauuutiful on your boat. And it's unique, well until everyone copies it. I don't like dark hulls. I love Mark's yellow on his Coot. It just makes it his.
I never would have thought of red for the interior but it works great with the other colors you have and it's bright and uplifting.
The color is part of making your boat feel even bigger than it is. Dark shrinks the size of rooms.
We even have colors in our offices, none of the dark, rich, law office paneling.
I love all you've done and think the two of you have really made it your own. It's like N4061 has with his new boat, although he does now need help on his dinghy.
It's like Donna has done on her boat, decorating it herself and making it all hers.
I think you and Bruce just embraced the entire concept that if you were going to build a boat, you'd make it all yours. After all, if there are critics, I don't think they pitched in money toward the build.
Well, I love love love love love your new boat.
