    What color bimini for this 230?

    Hi guys,
    What color bimini would you go with for this boat? Keep in mind If I purchase it I'll tint the windshield, add moka Seadek, and might upgrade graphics in a year or two. The interior of the boat is all light colors, nothing dark.

    White?
    Green?
    Black?

    Same debate if if add Wetsounds to the tower, black or white?

    I was thinking white over-the-top bimini and white speakers since there is not much black on the boat. But really not sure.

    I'm close to making a deal on this boat so help me out guys! Haha
    I appreciate it.

    Did you just by the boat was that boat in Central California ? I would go with either a matching green or a black Bimini.

      black bimini and black tower speakers.

      White bimini will be very bright inside the boat.....

        I think green would be difficult to match and maybe a bit overwhelming. I'd choose black... you'll get better shade, it'll tie into the black in the graphic and just look meaner.

          Had that same boat/tower, just not green. A black OTT will look great. See if you can get a custom one made that goes further forward and aft. It will be worth it.

            Thanks guys! All good points!
            White letting the sun through and green hard to match. I was also afraid a white bimini would be too girlie and douche (if that makes sense!) haha

            Black bimini, black speakers, windshield tint, seadek, should look good!

              Not white - I had one and changed it to yellow and even yellow made a world of improvement with respect to blocking the sun.

              I'd like green if it was the same green.

              Black is proven - only issue is it will get hotter ...if you care.

                What color bimini for this 230?

                My last boat had a black bimini and I didn't really notice if it was hot.

                I gotta say that a perfectly matched green bimini with white speakers could go very well with this boat. I would have to check some sunbrella samples.

                Oh and to respond to that California comment, no the boat is in Canada.
