black hull bottom?

[tomsmith]

ordering a new gs20 thinking about a black hull bottom so i can keep the sides white with a blue metallic accent stripe. i have always had white bottom and a dark hull side and end up lots of water spots dryingon the hull side while we are out and they are hard to remove. any input on the black bottom would be great ( my idea is that is in the water for the most part the air wont dry it)

Have had a couple colored hulls (bottom), never moored floating, either on the boat lift or the trailer, water spots underneath have never been a noticeable issue.
Visible scratches from the trailer bunks or lift bunks on the other hand is a big issue. Only way to avoid scratching is to float on/off the trailer, if you power load you will end up with scratches which you might not necessarily notice on the white hulls. Of course the same would be true if you beach your boat.

have a black bottom hull... what quinner said... water spots not an issue.... bunk scratches are an issue... but don't notice the bunk scratches unless i crawl underneath...

+1 for the black hull. It looks great and fits your design very well

White bottoms scratch white. Unfortunately, black bottoms also scratch white. That said, black looks awesome if you can keep it relatively scratch free.

OK...since no one did it...."Black bottom hulls they make the rockin' world go round......"

2 of my 3 current vehicles are Black. I told myself I would never buy another Black vehicle 2 ago. I can't get away from Black and tomorrow I am finalizing a deal on a 16 G23 with a Black hull. Here we go again.

Last year I owned four black vehicles. Down to three now. Still miss that fourth one..... The little bit more that you put out in maintenance, pays back big time in terms of how it looks.

Congrats. Post some pics when you get it.

this is the exact build- just questioning the black bottom

[tomsmith]

any comments are appreciated ths is from the web build doesnt really look like the actual boat which makes it hard to design

I think it looks great, especially in the actual photos. For me, one of the benefits of having a dark color bottom (with a lighter main color) is that it visually makes the boat have less freeboard. Shorter, longer look...which I like.

We should have a poll. Betting only 25% know what that was a reference to.
