Cobalt Colors Classic or Modern
Re: Cobalt Colors Classic or Modern
Cobalt Blue for me. I covet the red stripe (it's not on my boat). I like the white hull. Go with what tickles your fancy, you'll know it when you see it. Color is really a personal choice. Regardless of what you pick it will look great.
One consideration would be the interior color complementing the hull. Personally I don't think the grey looks as good as the tan, but that's just me.
Some of the guys in the hotter climates have complained about the dray gray carpet carpet getting really hot!! I'm in Texas in the heat, and my tan carpet stays cool.

The brown was my sons choice, but I'm a light interior color guy, and my wife and I both chose the gray.
The brown is very, very classy. A great choice, but doesn't go with blue IMO.

Just a side note, anyone notice how bad my dealer messed up the bunk adjustment? Bottom pic.Tuscany wrote: Tue Aug 15, 2017 11:17 am It didn't take me long, and I knew it immediately. About a day of scanning dealer ads to come across this combination, and I never thought about changing it once..
Love Cobalt blue, and Cobalt's navy looks different in the sun and shade.
So just look through internet dealer pictures instead of doing color comparisons on Cobalt's website. Real pictures are a better comparison.
When it hits you, you will know.
BTW, for a surf boat, that red on white is pretty hot, and I could see that in my yard wth no problem..
Took me a day in my driveway to get it perfect. Top pic.

Re: Cobalt Colors Classic or Modern
Thanks guys. Truthfully, every one of you guys owns a freaking 10.. they are all beautiful! I can admire posts here all day long.Soonerfan wrote: Tue Aug 15, 2017 1:01 pmAgreed! It is near the top of color choices. Tusc, I know you trailer your boat, does the dark bottom hull show any road rash from rocks or other road debris? That was one of my concerns with a non white bottom hull.
To answer your question, It's only made a few trips to the lake, and they are relatively short. so no, I've seen nothing on the hull from the truck. I wasn't afraid of a colored hull. I knew what I wanted and I'm pretty anal, so I can bet that it will still look as good in ten years as it does today.
The next morning after a trip to the lake, it gets washed and wiped down. So it's still as clean as new.
SouthernBM might shed some light on his colored hull experience.

Re: Cobalt Colors Classic or Modern
On a serious note. If I towed with a pick up I would have huge mud flaps on my truck.

Re: Cobalt Colors Classic or Modern
Agreed. I have flaps, but they would have to touch the ground to protect the boat. Best advice to self? No gravel roads, and no passing on the shoulder. period.Big Block Power wrote: Tue Aug 15, 2017 7:29 pm On a serious note. If I towed with a pick up I would have huge mud flaps on my truck.

Make sure liquid isn't in the box either
Here is just a example. I would get the one that guys through the hitch pin myself.

That is a great idea, and a nice piece of insurance.
