Getting the boat re-upholsered this winter, going to scrap the white. Is there any reason I shouldn't go with a light grey before I pull the trigger on it ?

A friend of mine had his whole interior done in light grey...... Looks horrible. It sounded good at the time, but when it was done...... Oh fuc!!!!
Just my 2cents.. Maybe it was just his shade if grey, I don't really know. Just looks really plain..
Be careful... He didn't do it in carbon fiber, just the plain vinyl though.

Only two colors work when you are talking ALL one color. White and black and we know you don't want to go with one of those. Originally Posted by WESTERNAERO

I hope your friends don't come in here and see you saying their boats interior looks like shit lol. I personally would not go from white to light grey.

Believe it or not it seems like every little shade darker away from white is also about 1 degree hotter in the middle of summer......plus I think it doesn't look as "Clean" or crisp IMHO.
Cheers!

I yanked the all white out of our boat a few years ago and added some color. But also went with carbon fiber vs. straight vinyl. Made a few other changes lol. First was before, second was after.
