Deck Colour Opinion

[Mondo Ken]

Good day to all!

Since I am in Canada and SC is building boats according to your location and boating season, my Mondo is on order and I still have time to change colours if I so desire ...... hopefully I'll have it by mid May.

I have ordered a white for my deck which in turn also is the colour of the interior. The balance of the boat is red and black exterior with the Dove Grey/White Moquetta with red accent upholstery.

I was thinking of changing the deck/interior colour to back since it looks great with the rest of the exterior, but I am concerned about a couple of issues I might have with black:

1. Will it be unbearable in the hot sun?

2. Does black show scuffs and scratches more prominently than white? Does the new gelcoat scuff easily?

I am hoping to hear opinions from guys who currently or who have had black decks/interiors.

1. No, not imo
2. Probably

I took my interior dark as possible and haven't regretted it a bit ....

[Mondo Ken]

That looks amazing!

Exactly why I would consider changing.

Sounds like it would really finish off the other colors on your boat ... opposed to looking like most other boats on the inside.

One other pic i found, zoomed out a little from the others ....

There's my interior colors. The black gets hot, but not nearly as hot as the grey seats. That being said, my 2 year old crawled around the boat for nearly 100 hrs of use last summer, without issue. So I would not be concerned about temp. Scuffs do show WAY more than white though. Get a bottle of hot sauce and give it a quick at the end of the day to avoid water spots and it'll be fine. I'm in saskatchewan by the way.

..... Agreed

Ahhh yes.... water spots..... forgot about them.....

Hopefully the pics attach. White deck ordered, black deck might change to.

The deck on my bow is black, I like the look of it, I don't like the rest of it, meaning mine never looks completely free of scratches no matter how much I wax it, it get dirty easier than the rest of the boat so it always looks like it needs a wash, shows finger prints etc...

Darker interior is better!! I promise. Regardless of heat.
