Thanks guys! As some of you might know from following this thread that yes I'm leaning towards the Blue even though my favorite color is red.
I've also been searching the web for vinyl graphics to do the sides and have come up with a couple that would work well with the red but not the dark blue. I have thought of red and white stripes for the Blue or orange and white to give it a Chicago Bears motif with a big Chicago C on the stern. But that might be a little tacky and reduce my market when I go to sell it someday. Though I have been trying to find a vinyl graphic in metal gray similar to what Lund and Alumacraft are doing but so far again I haven't located one yet.
Mike, thanks for the PM, I tried to open up that page to get to a larger screen of that color chart but couldn't do it. I do agree that the Ace Blue is pretty close to what I was envisioning.
As for the trailer. That trailer was already rebuilt and sold though the one under it is also in need of some nice paint. Which I'm thinking I'll do my usual paint scheme on it which I'll repost a picture of that old trailer. I still have plenty of the gray paint to use on the trailer frame and then do the fenders, winch post and hardware in the same color as the boat.
