    G23 Colors

    I think i have done over 100 different color combinations.
    I keep ending up on Admiral blue and gray. I still prefer mocha deck. I am open to some new design thoughts, but i need to lock in my order and now it becomes real. I became partial to the gunmetal stripe on seats when i was going with that for gunmetal color boat with masters blue accents, but the wife is pushing for the admiral blue... Still considering the design package and interior deck color vs white. Any thoughts or contrast i am missing?

    I think you did a great job on this design, it looks really nice! Sharp, clean and classy I think this boat will look amazing. I would definitely add the design package it looks awesome and the vent windows are nice, I would consider doing the choramax in white and the tower speakers in white just to see what it looked like. But over all it's pretty bad a..!

      The white chromax looked really bright on the program. I think i may do the bright chromax instead of the black chromax though. I like the finished look of the interior gel coat, but it is VERY expensive. And with the tungsten gray I dont think it is enough of reward in the appearance.... I love it in some of the bright colors.

        I am sure that your dealer has shown you some of the color samples, but I thought the admiral blue looked darker in real life than what is shown in the pictures. They switched the blues up this year, and perhaps I am confused. The one I saw looked black when I was on the shady side of the boat.

        What color trailer would you put under that? It could make or break that gray bottom if a gray trailer badly matched, or if you went and did something like got a white or black trailer.

          I like the gunmetal for the accent. Looks good....but remember...it is also a different texture then the regular colors...but in a good way. It has such a cool feel to the touch and also stays cooler in the sun. I currently don't have the design package...but I like it on the sample above. I think it makes the tower look better overall with the package. Probably can't go wrong with any color on the tower speakers....but white would add a nice touch just to match the interior and small amounts of white on the tower. It would look EXTRA killer if the board racks could be done in white without spending too much chingo bucks..... Tall....I bet Boatmate trailers could match that Gray up pretty good where you would hardly notice. At least no one on the water would notice....LOL

            Right now I have it set up for a Tungsten gray trailer for frame and admiral blue fenders. Trailer is supposed to be SPort boat trailers.

              I agree with what others noted. I think the whiter chromax lettering would bring the whole boat together vs chrome. Also to note in the design package , which I like, you would be able to two tone the tower colors white and admiral blue vs a solid admiral blue. I would stick with white interior gelcoat vs a color; I think it makes the boat look cleaner.

                Now i am curious if they will allow for white and blue tower, but keep window vent as tungsten gray? I think this is what you were making reference to.

                  You make a good point because from my G below the tower is 2 tone colors and the window design package vent is blue like part of the tower. Since this picture I did change my black chromax lettering to white which looks much better

                    I'm in the same boat as you (no fun intended). I am going to place an order and built hundreds of boats and looked at even more real examples. I would save the cash on the design package (unless you do white for the contrast) and do the blue tower (just my opinion). I am torn between admiral flake and gun metal. I will say that the frost grey interiors are really really nice as well....There is a similar boat in the "show us your nautiques section" White accent/admiral hull/admiral main/tungsten front....looks sharp.

                      The design package does seem like a waste with the tungsten gray accents, however I like the two color towers. When I was going gunmetal front and main with masters blue it had to be design package. It does not stand out near as much with the gray accents on the window.

                      It has been a fun and stressful at this same time!

                        Reviewing all my interior colors.... is there any issues with the tungsten gray seat boxing with the gunmetal main stripes? I only see them meeting in the bow at the seat boxing. Is the color not look right together? I may eliminate the seat boxing and just go all white...

                          Also to note on the design package , I believe the vented windows are include which I use all the time. Nice feature for added airflow on hot days

                            I'll have to agree, and as suggested.... The design package is more than just the stripe thru the window, they actually open for air flow and that is spectacular on hot days.

                              No....the tungsten gray seat boxing will look good...even with the Gunmetal stripes. It's a pretty close match and does add to the look of the seat. I would keep it like that.
