Poll: Which 2017 AR195?

[kindtampa]

I always considered a solid colored hull premium. If I did choose black, I think I'd remove the graphics for a all black hull. Local dealers also seem to only have black in stock. With that said, I'm leaning towards the white/black/red scheme. Would love to hear what everyone thinks!

White is so easy to keep clean and doesn't mark up like solid color. Personal preference though

I'll place some pics of black next Saturday when I take the keys...

I like the white/red one

Personally think graphics typically look nicer on a black boat. White will be cooler on a sunny day and that tends to be a large factor in the boating world.

They both look good, although I favor the black more. Probably look even better with black tint.

I voted black because I think it looks nicer, but the white one would be easier to keep clean....tough choices. If you are buying with a mind for resale, I'm guessing more entry level boaters would find the black boat cooler looking.

What @Julian said. Our white/red boat is easy to keep clean, stays cool in the hot southern sun and stands out on the water. I voted black because it looks great. I was close to pulling the trigger on a black boat.

That's my only concern... Especially with the hard water we have here... Already a pain with the black cars we own.

@malibu Dan I only boat in fresh water and ever since I bought the boat I have to wash it after every launch. The water spots are horrible, thank God for Hot Sauce, once I found out about it here is been easier to maintain but still a pain in the @$$

Hot Sauce & black boat....

 

[malibu Dan]

I'll have to try that... I know vinegar is the go to for hard water spots so maybe that's the key ingredient...

I'll agree with most of the black hull owners that have already spoken up. It's a pain to keep clean, but they look so nice when they are clean and shiny.

To keep it looking good I wipe it down as soon as it gets out of the water, I can't even wait the 20-30 mins till it gets home or else water spots will set in. Hot Sauce is a great tool to make it easier, but still ends up being more work than a diff. color hull. If you're willing to put in the work, I would go with a black hull.

You definitely weren't going to make a bad choice either way. Great looking boat, now go out and enjoy it.

I wish they had a white bottom option since I have to think that is very hard to keep scratchless and showing well. My black car is a chore but I understand how great they can look especially with tint and/or black rims, etc.

Black Hull, ordered it last week. Supposed to be in no later than mid November.
