Black is the better cover over the grey models. There is no comparison in quality. Yup, it’s warm, but better cover.

thanks .. but why would they make it it only black ? its going to be an oven inside this boat ... keep it and install extra vents ?

You're overthinking it. Black was an easy way for owners/buyers to identify the better quality cover. If heat were an issue, Yamaha would have gone to white years ago. It has always been the color of the better cover.

That being said, a friend just bought a new grey for their older AR210 and it's pretty darn nice as well. They have improved the quality of those from years ago. I have owned both, and your interior will have no issues with heat. Unlike what can happen baking in the sun with no protection.

Just don't leave any candy bars or old garbage in the can while covered. (smile)
