Don,
The red and white candy stripe is real sharp and boats in the 60's and 70's had them. If you would like to see a picture of a real nice orange and white candy striper 1978 check out our spring newsletter on our club website www.lgdonziclassic.com (http://www.lgdonziclassic.com) It only matters what you think about it , not others.
Bilt-rite is the company to go with. The very best quality in upholstrey.

Don,
With an all red boat and white stripe, the red/white candystripe might be too much red. My '67 Ski Sporter (http://www.donzi.net/hull.cfm?id=198) sounds similar to yours but with an all white interior, if you want to take a look. This opinion would be that a white interior with red piping would look real sharp. Another two cents worth for you to consider!
