LarryM,
Although I'd rather see Boomerang in Awlgrip white and matching cabin, She looks stunning in her black topsides and dark green bottom. Just a very tasteful combination I suspect. At any rate she's more beautiful than Willy will ever be and it's a shame your'e going to have to put that nice bottom out of sight.
Wow that Fortress anchor looks dangerously sharp in the picture.
Thank's for the Bertram 31 post. I react to that boat like girls reacted to Elvis in the 50s.
Eric and Mark,
You are gonna love this one . . . I originally specified red bottom paint since that was what was already there, and it is 'the' classic combination with a flag blue hull (it does look black in the photos) with a white boot stripe. I got a call from the yard half way through the job that they ran out of red, and worse, it was on back order from International Paint. So, I did what any sane person would do in this situation, I called Hinckley yachts for spiritual guidance. As it turns out, green is becoming a very popular bottom color on flag blue Hinckleys, so I took a peek on the Internet and sure enough, there they were, green-bottomed money gobblers all pretty as can be. I'm glad I went with the new color. Nothing but compliments so far, and, now we are ready for Newport or St. Tropez . . . . . or Galveston Bay!
BTW, thanks for the compliment Eric, I try hard to keep her looking ship-shape and proper. You are also right about the Fortress, sharp and ready for business.
