      I like the black and blue. Marine ceramic coating is likely in order. Black isn't fun to chase. Say "hi" to Phil from his Lake LBJ Paragon customer...

        Both builds are pretty sick but if I had to choose I'd say blue as well.

            They both look great, but in Texas pay attention to whether the black will be part of a surface you are in a position to touch while out in the boat (like the top of the deck/gunnel). Having lived and boated in Texas, I can tell you the black surface will flat out burn you if you touch it after its been in the sun for a while.

                Blue and Black all day...

                But you really can't go wrong if your building a Paragon!

                  I generally don’t love red boats. But your red design is just the right amount of red. I like both equally.

                    I may be in the minority, but I don't care for black and dark blue color combos on boats. Think dark blue looks best with white or light colors and light blues go better with black, but that's just my stupid opinion.

                    As someone else said, its a Paragon so you can't go wrong!

                      Of the 2 I'm more of a fan of the Black and Blue however I feel the tan interiors are the new teal (Miami Vice) colors and laser graphics of the 90s which will eventually date the boat. I also agree with Jack on black in general. They look great but are a PITA to take care of, show every imperfection and will burn you if left in direct sunlight for any amount to time. For this reason I tend to do blue/white, red/white, but that's me and this is going to be your amazing boat.

                      All this said it's your boat and if you can afford a Paragon you can probably afford to watch someone else detail it every week as you enjoy your Grey Poupon from the back seat of the Rolls.....

                      As long as you're able to maintain the black it would be hard to go wrong with either but that blue/black would be my choice.

                        Gray, red and black. Both are nice. Like others have said though, watch out for colors that will be hot in the sun.
