As long as you keep that Boston Whaler sticker on the side your gonna get the compliments. I altered my 18 a little from original but i get compliments every time i take her to the ramp. Not only at the ramp, but on the way there at the grocery store, gas station, and stop lights. It's really unbelievable. Once your in the water you can't see the outside. I do consider myself a purist at heart. Good luck with it.
