    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.

    That interior looks great, very nice job. But it's got more than JUST grey. Looks about 40% grey.

    Thank you, we were pretty happy with it. I think its actually closer to 50-60% grey. The upper panels are grey, the gunnel panels are white. The seats are maybe 50/50 and everything below deck is grey. The carpet gets the hottest of all of it LOL.

    I think it's all what you want, we had a little color in our Formula before I re-did it and in the hot Summer sun it was hotter than fock when someone stepped on the color on the sunpad, swoosh, it's gone, went to all white, but that's me, I want a 100% all white boat and that's what I've got.

    The only color is that carbon fiber dash that I had custom made so I could fit the new GPS on the dash in front of me, need that bad boy big time on the ICW.

    I'm with ya Joey, I had the white w/ all the colors to match the boat and I hated it. I went to all white and it looked awesome. I was just looking for a little change and found out it wouldn't be good. I've always used Simple Green to clean them until I used some orange stuff. Well I didn't dillute it and it stained the crap out of it. So i'm just going to stay with the white.
