I realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I never thought that the wide factory stripes were appealing. They surely thought that such a graphic would make the freboard appear lower, but to me an all white 7.9 with maybe just a very narrow WL stripe is one GREAT looking boat!!!
A few years back the previous owners of "Gargle Blaster" brought their boat down here to race in a regatta or two on Greers Ferry lake, I was the PRO. That boat was all white, no stripes, and had the name in big graphics on the side. That's STILL the best looking 7.9 to ever grace MY eyes!!!
