white will look newer longer and have better resale, get a white hull and put a black wrap on it.

This is what the boat will look like...Chris assured me with the 225 I could reach solo 63 to 65mph.... BUT 55mph I'm fine also

Unless Chris has changed the hull design, there is no way you are getting 65mph out of that boat with a 225 OPTI and 1.75 to 1 Tourquemaster. Not trying to knock the boat, I've just been on enough to give you real numbers.

It is a rig you'll be happy with though.
