Deck Colour Opinion

[RC_Hinojosa]

All I am worried about is the aftermath. I own a black truck and if I don't hand wash and completely rush to hand dry it at 6am, the water cooks on the paint.

As they say.... black is not a colour..... it is a hobby.

Very true....water spots are a PITA but I've seen videos on youtube of Boat Bling Hot Sauce and it seems to work very well on several days old water spots and scum lines. I also get that the scuffs inside are an inevitability but there is something to be said about a colored deck that screams custom over spec inventory....just MHO.

She'll be pretty either way...no doubt about it.

Having owned a very black boat the water spot struggle will be real. Inside and out. Hot sauce works to get them off. But then you climb in the car smelling of sweat and vinegar. Yummy!

Is your lake pretty clear? That might adjust your decision. Lakes around me are dirty.

Yes my lake is very clean, but even with my boat going on a lift at the end of each day I still have to wipe off a small scum line daily.

As anal as I am, I will still have to deal with wet people in and out of the boat dripping water everywhere.

I think I would spend more time cleaning and wiping than enjoying the boat.

I also agree with RC_Hinojosa that I have the opportunity to make this boat different than a spec inventory boat, and I want to make this boat different, but with the Blade spray pattern and the metallic red as the main colour, I find my colour combos limited. I have tried the other spray patterns, but I prefer the Blade over the others.

I can attest to some of the potential issues with the black top deck/interior. It does get hotter and smudges/scratches/fingerprints tend to stick out more than they would otherwise. But it just looks so damn good coming down the water. It also makes the seating pop when you're looking inside the boat. Let's face it, any of the blemishes that may stick out are going to happen regardless of your top deck cover. Regardless of the deck color, It's not like you wouldn't clean those areas anyway. My votes black as it's more unique and just looks so much better. More emphasis is on the contrast color when there's no other distraction to the eye.

Go ahead and go all black.

I had charcoal gray on the deck and hull on my last boat and I have white on this one....stuff showed more. Not saying I won't go back but I was ready for a change.

Go ahead and go all black.

You aren't trying to break a record are you?

[russellsmojo]

No way! But it is sweet. This thing would drive me nuts trying to keep it clean.
