Color choice for my new Cobalt

[MHMike]

I have a deposit in on an R8 Surf. Spring delivery.

Anything I should know color choice wise? For example is it a bad idea to do a lower hull in color as opposed to white. I’ve always had lower hulls in white.

I’m a huge blue guy specially pacific blue so if anyone has any pics using that or any other cool color schemes please let me know.

Thanks.

I will wait for BBP to weigh in....

I like blue myself…
If I ever ordered another one, it would be all Bayside Blue with a white stripe.

Here’s my choice, it’s not blue but it doesn’t show water spots or fine scratches. Pretty easy to keep clean too.

Nice trailer!

Nice boats

Question about bottom color other than white. I have read it is not recommended to go with a color other than white if your boat lives in the water vs on a lift.

Any truth to that?

I ask because for those of us who don't have a lift, I'd think a darker color would show the lake scum a bit less. Mid season it's not a problem. I just scrub the boat down on the sandbar. Spring and fall when the water in NH is 55? Cleaning isn't so easy.

Per Bobrae he talked to a source of his that said yes it's not recommended. The color I would say fades or changes plus I think it can blister easier.
Myself I would get a dark color anyways.
There are posts on it in here somewhere.

GLF is full of darker colored Cobalts that are 15-25 years old. Most, at least the ones I've noticed still look great.
Blue. The shale looks good too.

Color is what makes our world, and all colors from white to black are beautiful. I say get what turns you on and makes you proud. Cobalt gel is second to none, and any color will deliver years of beauty.
How it holds up, white, black, whatever…depends on you.

On our 5th season, and still brand new.

My first boat was a R5 that was Ebony hull, Pacific Blue stripe and white bottom. When I ordered our R6 Surf I continued that combo with Pacific Blue top, Ebony middle, Pacific Blue stripe and white bottom. Our trailer turned out great as well.

Ebony shows water spots really bad. However it only takes a 5 minute wipe down. So far haven’t had to use hot sauce on it. This could be from the full ceramic coating I had done.

Loce that color combo TF. High maintenance but worth it.
