Fred you are correct they repainted it black because it was scrached up from the movie we used it for the islemarada poker run rite after that, Donzi told us you can walk on the deck with shoes, were repainting it... Really was not to scrached but they wanted to sell a nice clean boat. the deck was so hot you could not walk without shoes and you could feel the heat in the cockpit coming off the boat. not for me.

Black is bad . My is black gel then black ppg then clearcoat works great. It was original just black gel that was a Bi*%$#ch

The Black Biotch.

Wouldn't want it all black, but I am real happy with it the way it is.

I would never consider a black boat!
Black sides/stripes etc. sure, but all black deck etc?
No way. It might look cool and different, but boating to me is all about enjoying time on the water, hot sunny days etc. Black + sun do not work.

I had a dark red boat in the early 90's and learned to work with it,
but would never go back!

Thanks for the input. This is exactly what we're looking for as we had the same concerns. The plan is to put out a wicked a$$ boat but it needs to be practical. The black boat completely outfitted with high polished gold plated harware would look very trick but, we're going with opton B and the black will be special order only. I'll have some pics up soon, don't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet.

Well this thread made me decide against painting my boat blue like I was gunna good input

That might be true if Cigarette didn't build that black Topgun.

What do you guys think about this one? Too much black on the deck?
