1) I'm a HUGE James Bond fan.
2) I also remember the first mega yacht to break 50 knots. Speaking of which, the story behind how it came to be is extremely interesting. As chance has it, it's currently up for sale...but, as they say, "If you have to ask 'How much?', you can't afford it."

OK, so as long as we've gone off the original topic AND I have some "spare" time (like being under house arrest minus the fashion-delete ankle bracelet) I will say that as a practicing oval racer, being fully aware of your rig on the course is all important. At first I was a lane 4 or 5 racer, then had two cataract lens replacement operations (clinical trial - yahoo) and now I can stay closer both to the inside lane and the pins (mostly) Then I painted my MC Yellow (I've been in heats when they were new on the market and there were 2 or 3 MC's in the original stock livery) boy was that fun and cornfusing.

Not only has the newer yellow paint job made it easier to see where my boat is relative to the course, it keeps reminding me of my favorite circular nutrition module waiting for me in the pits after the heat :

With faster boats like P Sport Hydros perfect vision under various lighting conditions is enhanced by standout colors. My favorite example from WW in Arizona a few years ago when dusk was approaching:

And finally a VERY IMPORTANT consideration in choosing a hull color when oval racing is making sure the BOTTOM COLOR is as visible as possible when resting belly up (yes it will happen to You ) in the lanes on the back straight (or actually anywhere on the course). When dead on the course your boat is but a teensy speed bump for the other boats in the heat who, if their pit spotter or the CD or Course Judge can see the dead boat and call it out, will (mostly) drive around it.

I just found it advantageous using a lot of colours, to get the benefit of each of them.

I can just imagine the CD after you jump the start : " The blue boat is over....wait-it's green...or purple...or - oh nuts, never mind

You are right Tony.
A bit confusing to the eye, but easy to see.

Sorry Dzimmermann, for steering this thread off the track again. I just remembered that this thread is about prop damage.
