Black vs Silver boat - nirvananight - 06-04-2017
So guys, I have been in the market for a bass boat. This will be a keeper and do not plan on trading even 15 years down the road. So I am torn between two colors. A metal flake black (looks black when low light but dark dark charcoal in direct sun due to the metal flake). I absolutely fell in love with the color scheme. Black sets etc. Now, having said that, realistically I live in Vegas and out on the water it is blistering in the SUMMER but on the flipside, where I fish the most would be the cooler months. Maintenance on a black boat will be more and may show more dings? Will darker colors oxidize faster? I always spray wax my boat when its out of the water and keep covered under a carport.
If all the advice you guys give me points me to steer away from black then I will go for silver simply because i do like the silver (but a distant second to the black haha) and it will be eassier to maintain and I am assuming will be cooler?
carpet on either will be gray as that color is the most important when choosing for comfort. I know some southern waters in California can be hot as well so you guys may have some advice
Thanks for any iput for AND against. Lets hear it

You might appreciate the lighter colored boat beings that you will be fishing in hot weather. Black boats look nice but they are heat magnets. [cool]
