| Purple flames match the purple on the side of the boat as well as the tower and bimini. Green trim matches seat piping in the interior and accent stripe on the hull. Damn, I sound like a freakin interior decorator...I need a beer. |

that is the million dollar question. 
Shouldn't get much hotter than before, the LineX is not much different that the fiberglass shell that makes up the motor cover. Vents are still there, so we shall see.
If I have a meltdown, I will advise!

| Sorry - I didn't mean to rain on your parade. I guess I meant since the insulation is gone, it might be a little warm to sit on.

No worries Swass.
I can't imagine that the insulation would be enough to keep the motor cover "cool", I see it's value as more to reduce engine noise than anything else. If anything, the SUN will make it too hot to sit on  . If it does create a problem, I can always install the foam again. No big deal!
Anyway, will advise if there are any issues.
