In all my years in classic cars I have never seen white or black (or shades in between ie gray) interiors go out of style.

I really like my flooring choice. Rule #1 no shoes. Spots will brush out. It does take a little maintenance about every other weekend to vacuum around all the edges. However I purchased a small cigarette lighter plug type handheld vacuum that I keep in the battery compartment. It takes about 10 minutes to do the entire boat. I had the seagrass flooring in my R5. It was nice but I just felt the soft-trac matt just looked more sporty in the surf.

I have a cordless Milwaukee vacuum that works great! No cord either. I have a bunch of Milwaukee tools so that the brand that I bought but I know there are many other brands like Dewalt etc. that make them also.

I have all Dewalt 20V Lithium tools. I use this Dewalt vacuum a lot. Unfortunately, I don't have it with me up at Lake Tahoe where we are getting tons of ash from a local fire.

Anyone have pictures of the Slate Frost interior on a Surf model? I am in the process of finalizing my R8 Surf order and pics are hard to find. Also, if any pics of certain color stitchings for comparison would be great.

look on boattrader.com or boats.com for R6, R8, R6 Surf and R8 Surf listings to see interior colors. We were in the same situation when designing ours. My wife kept saying "lets just go look at one" thinking it was going to be like buying a car and we could just take a road trip to large dealership and see several models sitting in their showrooms or lots. This was the largest $$$ item I have ever purchased site unseen and not even the ability to test drive before hand.

There's one for sale near me, not sure what colors these are but maybe they'll help.
