I like the colors. Here in Georgia I think the interior would get too hot in the sun, but that may not b much oh an issue in Canada.2007 Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, 1995 Cobalt 200

I like it a lot, but my new G has grey interior so I'm a bit biased. I can tell you that one of my friends has a X23 with dark interior and it's no problem at all. Sure it gets too hot in your driveway, or if when you leave it at the dock. However, underway it cools off fast and is no issue on the water. My old boat had white interior that was too hot to stand on when left in the driveway. We boat in TN. Sweet boat, if you like it, get it.

We've had grey interiors in a few MC's, and there was no difference in how hot they got versus white. That color combo is very cool!'08 196LE (previous)

I've noticed a lot of the boats at the shows had colored interior. My salesman who sells both Malibu and Nautique said their reps told them thats the big push go forward. Who knows how the trend will play out. Ultimately, the only thing that matters is if you like it.

That's fairly rough on the eyes to look at. It takes me 5-10 seconds for my eyes to settle to figure out what is going on.
And that dark vinyl might work in Canada... It would be like a frying pan in a southern climate. Saying there is no difference in colors... Is not consistent with anything I have experienced. There absolutely is a difference.
In Canada I could justify dark vinyl... But not that outside gel color combo unless there was a serously deep discount to cover the $5-7k you'll have to undersale comparable boats to get that sold.2019 G23 450

I didn't say there wasn't a difference, I said it wouldn't matter. If your boat has been sitting at the dock all day in the sun, and the white vinyl temp is 100 degrees and the dark color is 120 degrees their both too hot to walk or sit on. However, once using your boat, with the wind blowing on it, and wet people climbing in and out of your boat all day, I never noticed the dark being too hot on my friends boat. Maybe Mastercrafts vinyl stays cooler than Nautiques, I only have experience with Mastercraft's dark vinyl. I don't doubt that lighter boats will sell easier, so if your planning on flipping your boat, or only keeping it a short while, you should probably do something safer.
