    I put in Decadence that matches the blue/grey insert and it looks great over the busy griffin carpet and after living with it I am glad I went that route. While SeaDek looks great, it's next to impossible to beat the cost and functionality of Decadence.

      I removed the griffin decals off our white 210 in order to get some of the gel touched up and decided with the single color (or lack of color) I preferred the decal. So, put new griffin decals back on. I know decals are no longer in vogue, but of all the ones Nautique has produced this is the one I've coveted and I think it still looks good.Click image for larger version

        57 hours is insane! I guess they bought the boat just to look at haha. Turned out great, I've never heard of Decadence until now but I looked it up and it seems pretty legit, would love to see a photo of how it turned out.

          That 210 is a beauty! Looks just like mine in the water. I really do think I'll miss the Griffin if I don't put it back on (odd because when I bought the boat I didn't like it and my first idea was to remove it). The solid white looks good on a lot of the newer boats like the one people have shared on here, but they have more distinct lines I feel. Did you Try it out stripped completely or did you leave the super air nautique on. Either way I'd love to see any photos you might have of it without any combo of the decals. I've been waiting on a photo from the shop and still havent gotten one.

            Thanks for the compliment! I left the SUPER AIR NAUTIQUE logo on since I didn't want to pay for that in addition to new decals. I'm sure I can dig up an image with just that down the side.

              I had them strip all the logos for the wet sanding. I debated keeping the SAN decals on but was worried about visible differences from sanding around them, they also had quite a few blemishes. Did you put the new Griffin on yourself? I was under the impression the Griffin went on first, then the SAN went over that section of it.

                I pulled the griffin decal myself, and no, didn't install it myself. I read a bunch on how folks did it themselves and it and it sounded brutal. So, I ended up having a decal shop do it which worked out well. The decal fits around the SAN lettering down the side.

                  I came real close to buying a GS22 ... all white/haze grey but with the gold SAN Chromax and the mocha seadeck and Mojave brown interior accents. If someone had described it to me I would have said “no thanks” but the colors together were awesome. Someone else had just put a down payment on it when I went to look at it and I ended up with a G21.

                  That 210 with gold SAN lettering and the coordinating tan/brown interior would be sharp.

                  They look awesome with the gryphon decal too, though! Can’t go wrong either way.

                        To me its looks like a chest tattoo on a hot girl for some reason I can't stand them. Also super jealous of your boat but love the look with just the super air.

                          I love all white boats for many reasons. They look great and are easier to maintain and keep looking great than darker colors. Years ago when most boats were all white I think a lot of us (myself included) were thirsting for a pop of color. Now that we have color everywhere on boats, I've come around to the simple elegance of all white. I wish I would've ordered my GS20 in all white.

                              Doug, That interior is great! I built a similar interior online and tried the white seatboxing, I didn't like the digital rendering, but in real-life, it looks great.

                                Update: Got the boat back from the shop, wet sand and buff did wonders, also got the new interior installed. Liking the naked white, going to keep it like this for a while I believe, then maybe go with black chomax
