Cool color. I have a 36 moondust color hull. There are not that many yf this color. Do yourself a favor and do plain white cushions inside. I changed cushion colors inside 3x bc I didn't like moondust trim in cushions. plain white looks nice and clean trust me.

It is in hull finishing now and will move to rigging in early Oct. Then 2 weeks in rigging. New delivery date is around mid Oct. I did add (2) Tuna tubes -- my use will be to quickly store hooked live bait when you need to pull up some lines when changing spots or when clearing lines.

I havent seen it yet so nothing new to report but I started buying some accessories for it (13 custom rods, gaff, bait net from Connoly, some Stellas and Int'ls for boat jewelry, mix drink bar caddy that fits in the rod holder). Can't wait!

I went with mainly white upholstery with tan inserts that have some stitching-- I think it will look cool!
