Normally I like anything red white and blue, but I have to say, these don't look so good.

Who thinks red absorbs more heat than white? Yeah, this guy

Well, you can’t claim you didn’t realize a boat was coming.

This is... fine. Seems unnecessary, though I guess block paint is easier to do than stripes. I don't particularly like how it makes the blue strip along the top stand out.

I feel like the universal boats look so much better. But I preferred the stripes vs whatever this is. Looks like there trying to match that more modern look they have been doing resort wide but I’m not sure it lands well here.

I just don’t think it works on boats with this design. They weren’t meant to be painted like this. The color scheme might work on a boat with a different design.

I remember these being called "legacy equipment" a few years ago. Did they get the much needed work or was it only paint?

 

[WDWFanRay]

I thought that was painter’s tape

Agreed. It's not egregiously bad, but it's not great.

The striped scheme took far too much masking tape during repainting, the new scheme takes less labor, a.k.a. it's cheaper.

Maybe they’ll apply the white stripes later?

Bobby loves to use paint and decals.

Mah chil'hoo'!!!

I wish, I def prefer the stripes so much nicer, but wouldn't count on it. If they emerged and in use its completed. They have been doing this with red for a lot of things not sure what they are getting at.
