    Gray vs Mocha Seadek?

    I'm looking for opinions on gray vs mocha Seadek. I designed an all red with black accent stripe GS20 and I put gray Seadek in it. But then when I went to the dealership and saw one GS20 with gray Seadek and one with mocha. I began thinking I liked the mocha better. Just curious what is everyone's opinion on Seadek color on an all red boat?

    Grey is more sporty looking. Brown looks like wannabe teak. Just my opinion. Some may say brown looks more classy. Eye of the beholder.....

      I feel like the grey shows more dirt for whatever reason

        If you like the Mocha better it sounds like your question is answered! Go with what pleases you!

          I've never liked the brown on red, orange, or yellow boats... Although I prefer it on white, black, blue, green, etc... Just my 2¢

            I have gray and it definitely shows dirt worse than the brown would. Given a choice I would go with the mocha.

              Have you had success with cleaning it? I was thinking an electric power-washer would work pretty well.

                I think it's going to be a personal preference on this one... But for what it's worth I ride frequently on a red and black Nautique and it's got the mocha seadek and it looks very sharp! Go with what you like and enjoy!

                  Thanks for all the feedback. I think I'm going to go with the mocha since that I my gut feeling and since people say it doesn't show dirt as much as the gray. I better get my fiancé's opinion first.

                    I like Mocha better. But my interior is white with red accents. I have owned a 2015 and a 16, and got mocha both times. I do not regret that at all.

                    Not exactly what you are looking for, but here is Mocha with red metal flake in the wild. BTW, the toenails are all red metal flake too, but it didn't quite turn out as cool as I would have liked.

                      Tall,

                      I going with a white interior deck so the Mocha Seadek will be on a white background just like yours. The exterior of the boat will be all red, but I couldn't justify an extra $4000 to get the interior deck in red.

                        +1 on Mocha stays looking clean for longer which is nice. Gray shows every sandy foot print immediately from what I've seen in my friends boat with the gray.

                          I have never used and would never use a power washer on it. I've used a mild soap and soft to medium bristle brush. It cleans up very well. It just begins to show dirt much sooner than what I think the mocha would. Especially given our lake is murky with tea colored water and reddish dirt/clay bottom

                            For what it's worth I have the gray sea deck on my 210 (owned for about 6 months) and so far have not had any issues with dirt/staining/footprints etc. Just wanted to mention for people reading through this thread - maybe others with gray have had different experience but so far I am happy with it, I also like the feel that it isn't trying to look like wood

                            My primary water is the Trinity River - nickname - "The Dirty T" so water not the clearest!

                              I think each color goes good with certain hull and interior combos. I have Blue exterior and white and Gunmetal interior....so Grey looks better with my combo. Yes...I think it probably gets dirtier then the Mocha...but I like the Grey...on my boat...better. If I were you with that combo, I'd go Mocha....
