Thanks!! Still trying to decide if this is the color scheme I want to stick with. I love brown interior, but the wife isn’t sold.

If we switched to brown, I love the all white exterior. Not sure if that’s too basic though. So difficult to level set on color scheme. I initially though some sort of flake blue but can find a scheme I love.

Any makai owners, would love to see yours.

That’s a great looking color scheme you selected imo!

Thanks! I think my main concern is the black hull. Asked the dealer and he said to ceramic coat it... but the few places I checked charge 50-60$/ft. I’m not really looking to spend $1200-1500 out the gate on that.

Are black hulls really and issue? It would be easy to wipe it down after putting it up on the lift... but I probably wouldn’t.

Thinking of that, how the hell do you wax a boat if the aluminum bunks are blocking a small part of the hull?

I am looking at a black hull for the Mondo I am ordering as well so hearing people's thoughts on this is topic. My lake has soft water and 60 feet of visibility so I think it won't be too big of a deal. Probably depends upon how hard your local water is. When I lived in Phoenix it was a huge pain to keep the hard water spots off of the boat.

It's not a Makai, but maybe this will tilt your windmill.

Black will show marring and scuffs but nobody really sees the hull.

Ceramic is awesome but not a miracle cure. I make my own detail spray and simply add 25% white vinegar for water spots.
