Default Decision Due Monday

Hey Nordic friends, need some advice. Ordered new 35 (see attached photos) trying to decide on rub rail color. Nordic offers both white and black. Going with the stainless insert, not sure which color would look best.

Any thoughts?

I'm not exactly an artist. But does this help?

Sorry But I spilled a little white paint on the front of your boat. Hope it comes off!

I think white also. Are you sure about the stainless insert. I would be afraid of dents if it bumps on the dock. With the rubber insert it would get scuffed and scuffs come off with acetone. Just my 02

I still like the black...... blends better with red and there is also some black in the grapics from what I can see or is that dark blue?

Nice work Raymond

Yeah

They both work well.
I orig liked the black too.
Looks like the grey metalflake is outlined with black. So either will work. What color is the steering wheel?

The wheel will not be seen against the rub rail color either from inside or outside the boat at any time maybe docked yes but thats it.


Black will also not fade, get yellow from overfilled gas, or scuff marks that show from docking.....at a toss up black always wins because it shows less wear over time......also looks great after vinyl protectant is applied.

How about white powder coated bow rails in place of the stainless. Then the white rub rail will look mint.
