Instant Upgrade. Just a personal observation..... If you have a boat with either red or maroon stripes,as I did when I bought mine, get rid of them. You have no idea how changing the stripes to black or dark green will take years off the appearance of your boat. An example of this is, in the awning picture on my website, the boat still had maroon stripes. In the at anchore picture or the aerial shot opening picture of my website, same boat with green stripes. Looks a lot younger and a lot sharper. Capt. Al .
