Well, I'm going down to my Dad's house Monday to get started on my boat. I have a 1982 Galaxy Executive, 19ft ski boat that I've made into a wakeboard boat. Right now the colors are dark blue and cream. The cream color is in great shape, looks almost brand new. However, the blue on the sides has faded bad. The carpeting in worn and the flooring under it had rotted and has to be replaced. Also, the seating in it is a mis-match conglomeration of colors I picked up along the way. Originally the boat had some beautiful peanut butter color seats in it. But as the original seats began to fall apart and had to be replaced I was unable to find replacement seating that was even close in color, forget about matching it.
I replaced the drivers side back to back recliner with a swivel captains seat and want to build some wrap around seating for the port side. I'd also like to change to Dog-house design and enlarge the sun-pad.
Now for my questions..... I'm leaning towards painting the sides black. I think this will cover the dark blue better and look sharp. For the interior I'm thinking burgundy and cream with black accents. Any opinions on this color scheme? Burgundy carpeting, the seats primarily cream color with burgundy stripes and black accents or piping.
Also, as I said, it has a small dog-house now covering the 4 banger. The boat came with small jump seats that fit on both sides of it, but we have never used them. So I'm thinking about fully enclosing the back of the boat, and having a full width sun-pad, with a access door to the engine from the top, and built in storage on both sides. I could also put some fat sacks in the storage spaces if I wanted to? This would drastically increase my storage space and hopefully dramatically quieten down the engine noise. As long as I increase the blower venting capacity I shouldn't run into any problems here should I?
I'm also going to build a full width swim platform. It will be built in 3 pieces with 4 L brackets. The center section will be notched and hinged so it can fold over when the stern-drive is raised for transportation.
