All black would make for a hot boat on a 90% day.

Did You Find It Hot When It Was Black?

I bought the boar in september and started right away to strip it. So I did not have the chance to see under big sun what it would be like. But I remember when I was young and my father had a brown metallic Glastron... I remember burning my arms on the top side of the boat, so my guess is black, you'll be cooking!

I did exactly the same! But finally wanted contast colors to catch eyes... and also because once I almost got involved in a night accident, they never saw me... So now, the name of the boat is made out of reflective red vynil, just like the cops!

heres my before and afters. i tell ya what, i cant say enough about the 260 scorpions. this is the best boat i have ever owned. VERY big for 26 footer, runs like a top and handels ruff water confidently . gonna hate to see this thing go.

ENGINESPLUS keep in mind the darker color will make the boat look smaller.

yeah we don't have much horsepower, but as you said we're running trouble free... actually just running is better fun than towing...

Can Anyone Tell Me Where The Fresh Water Tank Was Located On A 1985 260.
I Have A Hand Pump On The Sink And When I Took The Interior Out Of The Cabin I Found The Lines From The Pump Don't Go Anywhere And The One From The Filler Goes Under The Sink.
Thanks
James
