It does look great, but it is hot. For a balsa core boat probably not
noticeable, but for a solid boat it is.

I have received the "don't go with a dark color" advice many times,

white, they are invariably Navy or Flag blue...and they look great!
Thanks for all the responses thus far... (and keep 'em coming!);

Coquina was painted dark blue in 1979 and again in 1985. The paint has
done well, no fading or anything, more like just gloss fading to not so
glossy. The boat *really* needs another paint job, but that is from
getting run into or other signs of use over the decades, not paint
failure. I am not sure I would do a dark color on a solid glass boat
again, you get solar heating in December and also July.
