One thing is the darker the color, the hotter it will get. Guess it all just boils down to whatever you like.

Some may disagree but IMO you can never go wrong with some seafoam!!
One of my all time favorite boat color combos, a Frontier would look really good with this color scheme.
Im also a big fan of the gray.

I know for sure I am getting gray on the inside!! Can't decide if I want a blue or gray on outside. The seafoam does look good, just don't know if I would get tired of it.

Darker colors fade faster and show nicks, scrapes and scratches more than the pastel colors..

X2-- also on most models, color defines year model. when you sell or trade, the color could effect the price. i've gone with all white on my last two boats, that way i don't have to deal with the fading problem. JMO.

Get white of light grey. I own a 24' triton that is bright baby blue n it shows every nick scratch scuff ect. The white fiberglass will show thru the scratch on a colored hull

150 Suzuki . I really can't spend the money on the 200 that I want and from the research that I have done I think for price, warranty, etc it is the one to go with.
