I've considered black. It'd be beautiful. Just gotta talk the wifey into it. She's thinking a light gray.

That's what I was thinking - a black car looks good for about a week until it scratches. I don't want to have to baby my boat.

Yea we discussed it a little tonight and blacks out of the question. She said the same thing, any imperfection will show. Looking like its gonna be a light pewter color. I think it'll have a slick, clean look.

Talking

Summer sun + Black paint = HEAT!!!!! DON'T DO IT!!!. There's a reason boats are made with white as the number one color. If you must paint the boat I'd go with a light color.. like a lime green for instance.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
