baz1033 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Me and Sharron are having different views on our boat stripe. I like the blue stripe as its retro which is very me. Sharron likes our boat without the stripe.(like the one in NYA which has had it removed) We are having the stripe repainting soon and sharron wants it removed or painted out So can I please have your views on the matter ( Wayne and Jonathan ) Barry and Sharron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY littleboat Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Haya Baz Why don't you have the 'go faster' stripe painted on the opposite side to the engine that keeps conking out - may halp with the trim when we go to London! Looking forward to seeing you both really soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmtree Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi, Here is proof, Narrow Yellow stripe (almost white) = no performance Narrow Blue stripe = Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY littleboat Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Surely by the very fact that you are 'hanging your washing' on the outside of the boat would cause sufficient drag to prevent the engines from driving you along at speed?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Personaly don,t like the stripe ,and to repaint it ....i wouldn,t it,s not standard on a 36 turbo??? much more sutle is this?? ps you need more rag than above to wipe that off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmtree Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Drag is a problem but removing the drive leg out of the water helps (the MPG is superb). Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[attachment=0]turbo.jpg[/attachment] ps you need more rag than above to wipe that off I must say that does look nice but how would i remove the stripe as it is painted on. The first year or so production came with the blue or in three cases a red stripe from 85 on it was an option so they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneakp Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Baz If you change the colour of the stripe, your jacket will no longer match, so you will have to change that too... And then your jacket wont match your eyes any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 As long as it,s paint ...and not gell coat ,you can mop it off with a mop and abrasive compound... i don,t know any trade names of materials to use but iam sure there are lot,s of folks on hear who can advise...

Guest Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Marriage is all about compromise. Keep it on one side Seriously though they do look nice and modern without the stripe almost 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantS Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think the stripe looks ok. You need a bit of colour something that is mostly white, and a blue stripe sets it off nicely (But then i would say that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jax 3 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Providing it is paint Barry, I am sure you can get a paint stripper that is safe on gel coat. I am sure nitromores do one. Only problem I can see, it won't be Barry without the go faster stripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senator Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Suppose it depends which decade you like your music from. on the plus side stripes have been out for so long now that anyone still with them is in danger of starting the next big thing.

mbird Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Only problem I can see, it won't be Barry without the go faster stripe. It'll be flames instead I bet! Personally I like the stripe Barry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY littleboat Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Baz, I've ordered your sun strip for the windscreen and the furry dice but I need to know if you'd like the sun streip to say 'BAZ n SHAZ' or 'BAZ n BOSS' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Since it is fact that "blue hulled" boats are generally much more expensive than the "dull" white hulled varieties your solution would be to paint the remainder of the hull blue. Guaranteed to increase the value of your vessel at a brush stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
