Default How Rare is an all white 260??

I bought my all white 2003 260 at the beginning of last year. I bought it based on pics that I had seen and a good dealer reputation. Before I bought it, I did a lot of reading up on the Velocities. During my research I was unable to find any pics of 260s or 280s that were all white from the factory. From what I gathered, it had to have been special ordered as a graphic delete. How rare is an all white Velocity (factory gel). How many are out there? Do any of you guys know of anyone else who has one or have you seen one? Not that I think this makes my boat "special", just wondering how many are out there.......

I had thought about a vinyl wrap for the boat, but I have grown to like my all white hull.



The vents on the sides are no longer red. They are now white. Red just wasn't working for me.

Velocity paint jobs have been special ordered by the owner or dealer for their floor plan for quite away. You could order a standard paint design, have a custom paint job done in-house or by a third party like Kris Kruze. Alternately if you like, you could buy the plain white boat and have it painted or wrapped yourself. Other people just like all white boats. I know of a number of plain white (and yellow - guess where these went!) boats that left the factory but I'd say it's fairly uncommon since most buyers tend not to be understated people!

Tired.... I fell a sleep with my face in the sand. I threw the wife a 29th (50th) B-day party the day before and was operating on 4 hours sleep after 20 hours of partying and had clean up the mess in the morning before I took the boat out. I am way to old for that.
