Paint gone wrong

[Geronimo36]

Reading and looking at this thread is like looking at old pictures from when you were yound and saying; WTF were we thinking wearing something like that OR, WTF kind of hairdue did I have... It;s like thinking to yourself, what Apache from the 80's and 90's didn't have some pink paintwork?

However, I think some of the "hot" boats of TODAY with multi-color wild paint jobs will be viewed the same way in 10-15 years.

Frank, I agree. I think the red/orange/green fad will come back to bite lots of people

This thread could never be complete without the ice cream fountain.....

Post 14...The winner!!!!!!

Somebody the manager of a Baskin Robbins ???

No but he did own an icecream shop called "crazies" and I'd venture to guess he had more money than most people on this board.

May he RIP.

My point is, the money bought him what he wanted, he wasn't one to care what others thought, which was evident by how he lived!

the boat was hiddious but if you knew him, you'd understand why.. he wasn't worried about resale either.

Yeah, and its not like it had a big Indian head on the side of it or something........

I am just kidding of course! I love the simple iconic look that doesn't go out of style.....look at my boat!

On a grand scale.

Tom, you have a timeless boat!

I tell everyone that it doesn't matter cause; "it's all pink inside"

As for John, he flew to work in a helicopter every morning.... Two of the fondest memories I have of the guy was first when I was about 14 yrs old.. I was surfing at his beach club (Chapel), we were getting a heavy swell from a hurricane.. I'm sitting out in the line-up and I hear a boat coming... Back then John had a 35' Fountain painted in aquaflage (like camo but on the water) and here he comes, WFO down the beach wearing a helmet and lifejacket... He turns to the horizon and you would see the boat, then it would get airborne and then dissapear between the swells... My jaw dropped wide open. I mean, it's literally a hurricane swell!

Another time, when I had my Scarab, there was a poker run going on... For what ever reason I hadn't been invited to this private run so I was down at the dock and John was idling up the river with about 15-20 other boats behind him... He wave's to me and says; "come on", I then told him "I wasn't invited", he says, "well, I'm inviting you, so come on!".... Fired up the engines and off we went!!

Some of us have already been thinking it for the past few years.
And I'm not even that old.

And to think I actually made several offers on that boat !!! Told Nancy I'd never change the paint too !!

[LaughingCat]

On a grand scale.

Surely there was someone who walked in while this was being painted and pointed out the obvious!

On a grand scale.

Thats gotta be someone that just wanted to piss off Vette owners..

[TxHawk]

I can't believe this one didnt make the cut. The power made up for it back then... 3xMerc 800's and 6's. Pretty tough in 1997.
