No question about the boat colors looking great, my only question is about a dark colored hull. I'm a really practical guy and I worry about scratches , water spots, then resale value. We have a new 210 on order and I briefly considered a gray bottom, but my dealer said it would show damages much more than white so I went with white. Like I said, I'm very conservative and look at resale. Our all white 2011 210 sold in 7 days where some of the colored boats similar are still for sale. That is a great looking boat for sure.

I like the outside , especially the orange, I think I'd omit the orange on the inside myself as I think I'd grow tired of it after a couple years. The dark hull looks real good, but is riskier for for resale. Nice pick with matching the white window vents with the side graphics.

I have had two black hull boats that sold pretty quickly. I think it actually helps. If you can show your hull is perfect condition and free from scratches and dings, you can pretty much assume the rest has been taken care of as well. They kind of go hand and hand. Im not afraid of the black hull, you just have to take care of your trailer bunks and load deep.

I like your design. I have the black haul and you will see more water spots and scratches. It's a trade off between looks and extra work; as I like the look but dislike the maintenance to keep it looking nice. I spray and wipe the boat every time it comes out of the water so keeping it looking nice is part of the course, but it take more work than the white. My biggest fear is the scratches from the trailer bunks, you cannot see them unless you look under the boat, but they are there. Will it hurt resale, maybe. But probably not to someone who understands that it is part and parcel to a boat that is trailered all the time.

Mattso...you mentioned resale...which ALWAYS seems to come up in this type of color post...but his name is "Bigbucks10".....lol. "I can buy and sell every color....cha ching" You know i'm just joking guys...I'm sure it's for big deer....and if not...more power to the screen name...word. Looking at the pic....I like the black and orange together....but if he took the black off the hull and went with just the Orange front accent...would it be "TOO" much white and not enough color. I just ordered my G21 last week and went with Metallic Blue on the main stripe only.....the rest Silver Cloud.....but at one point I thought about just going with the front panel with Blue. Gives it a cool look but leaves alot of white to the boat. Here's a black one with just the front. Hard to find a pic of an Orange one with just the front and all white. Blue one is the color for my G21.1 PhotoLast edited by Kenv; 02-15-2015, 07:59 PM.

You are correct- It relates to deer only- not money. I never even thought of that. Can i change my user name? because now that i think about it, big bucks sounds like a jerk, when honestly i am just a hard working family man that loves to bowhunt and has in interest in large whitetail deer. I should not even be looking at these boats, If I were to get one, I would probably be the only owner of one that can't do any flips or inverts on a wakeboard. Pretty sad, but I try.
kenv- i love the color of your g21. I am going to try what you suggested and check it out. Thanks for help, and also pointing out what everyone was probably thinking but never said anything about my user name.
again-can i change that?2016 G23

Bigbucks...get the 21, you only live once. I can't do any flips or inverts either...although I still can on a kneeboard believe it or not. I'm 49 and I still rip on the kneeboard !!! This boat is for all-round fun. I still slalom, wakeboard, barefoot, and starting to surf. My girls still ride the tube with their friends every once in a while but have moved to the wakeboard also. I think bigbucks10 is a pretty cool screen name...if you were over on Bearbows.com forum....LOL Just kidding. It just fell right in to the expensive boat/resale slot...I couldn't resist to comment on it. I'm sure there's a way to change it. Jeff can probably guide you if you can't find it under your profile. I went back and forth with the color combo's quite a bit on my future G21. I currently have the Gunmetal Flake on my 226... and others, including myself just love the flake in the sun. I will say my current boat is a little harder to see on the water due to the fact there is no bright color popping out. That's one of the reasons I'm going with a white tower this time. Just go with your gut and don't loose any sleep after you decide the color. There will always be people that LOVE it and others that would have went with another. On a side note, I'm not a hunter, but my 14 year old daughter has been shooting a Bear Apprentice bow for a couple years now in 4H Archery and at home. She loves it and is a pretty good shot. She has mentioned that she wants to go hunting and maybe try to shoot a hog. I will have to enlist some of my hunting friends to help with that!!

Awesome looking boat! The orange metal flake is really sharp.
Just a coincidence that this popped up today, but here is the same boat with a white hull (minus design package).
The Dealer in Australia posted this today. I saw -15 degrees here in Jersey yesterday, and they're in the their summer months... Not fair...
