A couple of pics taken at my son's bday party at the lake this weekend.

looking good man.. Are you going to add a supra logo on the side or just keep it clean?

I wish I knew the answer to that question. I'd like to do something, but I don't want to get wild or go outside the "age" of the boat. I'd like something under-stated, but cool. I haven't been able to figure out what that is. Just a solid stripe? A small Supra logo? A stripe and a logo? Any thoughts?

Man, she sure is purrty just sittin' there nekked - I don't know what you could add that would be an improvement. But if you feel the urge, definitely something simple.

I struggled with the same question because I didn't want a "billboard" on the side of my boat. So now I have a billboard, but it's kind of a fade. You can barely see it from a distance. I think that a stripe on the waterline with matching wave would look cool.

Something I did before I made choices is I used photoshop to add and change colors, etc to a drawing of my Sunsport. If you want, I could maybe help you that . . . kind of like this. I have many other variations as well.

I'd go for a 5/16" colour matched red stripe at the water line with a small 1 1/2" high Supra in chrome where the wave normally sat.

Thanks guys. I really do appreciate the thoughts. I tend to think that it's hard to go wrong with nekked (as Mike says), but I also like the clean and understated look (like Clints) that everyone else is recommending.

Clint - do you have a drawing like that of a Saltare? Sketching something out in PS may be the way to go.

I agree with the billboard.. The Sign shop I had make me my supra logo's made them to big, but its hard for me to rip them off after paying $75 for them.. but In the future I can see my self taking them off!

Basically with the older boats I like a Matching Color water line and the Stock Wave decal but in a outline
