captain flint Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Just wondering if anyone has any photos of narrow boats (or wide beams) that have a white roof and white front and back to the cabin (ie where the doors - usually - are), but darker coloured cabin sides, decks and gunwales. I've seen a few but haven't taken photos of them, and haven't found any so far looking through Google image searches. Obviously this is hardly very important, just that I was having a conversation with a friend who said they didn't think it looks 'right', whereas I think it looks rather good, and I wanted to show them what I'm talking about.

Kind of like that, but I think of that more as being white with grey panels along the side. I've found one photo that illustrates what I'm talking about, but unfortunately it somewhat undermines my argument as it looks (to my eyes) pretty rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that boat pictured looks bad to me just because of the shape and proportions rather than the paint job (I think widebeams can look good, just not that one).

Oddly enough, looking for any white ended boats on apollo duck, that same boat is the first result on my screen Edited: probably not that odd now I come to think of it, google search results fairly likely to show boats for sale Edited March 16 by captain flint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
