The way I look at it, it's your boat, do what you want. It's not something sacred. Like houses. Looked once at a house that was an odd color. An artist owned it. Broker said, "Do not let her know you intend to paint it. She wouldn't sell to one couple who did."

I think you've done a great job on your boat.

When it comes to houses, I think there are two many house rehab shows on television now. When we bought our house we sure took the saws to it, or had them taken to it. Walls down, openings, rooms combined, painting. You love your boat but only if...it had or didn't have something. Well, if it can be made better for your tastes, then do it.
