    Totally agree with this and would probably stay away from metal flake. Only a matter of time before it goes out of style again and stays away for 40 years except for bass boats. Then again, pink was all the rage in the 80's and it hasn't come back. Maybe it's due.

    I was in the same mindset when the Helix came out but it grew on me and now a huge fan. It's limited what you can do I agree but seems that's what's keeping the cost down for a very well preforming vessel.

    My boat is a 2004 and the back is all beautiful metal flake, and I'm still not sick of it! As long as there's rednecks long live metal flake

    Every time I see this statement which happens often I laugh all the way to the bank. The other competitors boats are dated, faded and drab. It is nice to know that I can sell my boat for the same price as what I paid in 2002. I imagine back in 2002 my boat was outdated and just a Moomba but I now have the same value as all the others. Check out what the competitors had for boats in 1998 in immaculate condition. Moomba had a vision back then to be different than the competition and it holds true today.

    People associate older boats as being drab and outdated and until the DD boats were phased out I had to tell people my boat is not a new boat. People associate metal flake with expensive and this is why Moomba went away from the metalflake in 2000 is because of cost. I looked at a MC Prostar special edition in 2008 that I was seriously interested in and it had metalflake but it was only in the special edition model. So metalflake appears throughout the years.

    The down side is the ability to repair damage but I wouldn't know much about that.

    Keep the blue metalflake and white going.

    I've also heard near impossible to fix and match anything flake.

    wtf.. I got a lot of compliments on the pink graphics on my last boat

    if I were building that boat, I'd do either blue flake or orange. being back out in the west again, I'd stay away from any color but white for the top deck tho. sun beating down on those darker colors makes it painful to the touch....

    Pink has totally come back. 2015 G23.



    And Kane, you're saying to stay away from flake because it's outside the norm? Have you looked at your hydroturf floor in your boat? That camo is pretty "in your face". I went with Gray hydroturf that perfectly matches the gray carpet that's left in my boat.

    Just goes to show that even you have things that others would stay away from like the plague. (Like I see all these people going with a peanut butter brown interior on new boats and I hate it).

    Personally, I think you're safe with flake. It's not like it's the tribal graphics or flames you saw on the early 2000 boats.

    You can always get sparkle tape to add some bling to white spots and then remove when it out of style

    Blue seems to sale pretty fast but my dealer sat on a boat with just a little orange all season. I will have this MAX in the spring then hit the market around July so of course I want to enjoy it but also have it appealing to potential buyers. Lots of great ideas so far and please keep them coming. The temps around UT see 90's to 100 and I hear ya on the white. I think it was Trayson that posted a boat with the snap in non skid flooring, man that stuff get extremely hot, till they offer Gator it's a hard choice to not go carpet.
