Thinking about a new Yarcraft...talk me out of it

I think this one has grey gel bottom.

No- sorry was not gel. I found another picture and it appears is gunmetal polyflake.

I like the boat design program, but sure would be nice when it could be more interactive and present the pics in the true colors.

I would imagine the poly flake grey hides a lot more than flat gray. I went with white bottom just to be on the safe side. I did not want to be the one to discover why nobody has a flat gray one....

I used the online tool to build the colors and looked quite a bit at the facebook page for color ideas which helped out a ton. After I got color I thought would work on the interactive flash page, I went to the dealer and held the samples up to the 186 tfx in the showroom----I did this for about 7 days in a row---and finally found what I like.

Some colors on the computer were very different from the real colors once I got there---but its a great tool to get you in the ball park. The computer just cant show poly flake like it is in person and on some colors it makes a huge difference.

Also, as I looked through the facebook page, who are those people that ordered those purple yarcrafts! You have to give them credit for there unique taste.......

my guess is Packer fans... after last night, looks like they eat purple.

So what colors did you end up with?

[codeblue]

Cap---white

Hull---Malibu Silver (just a touch of flake in this one)

Running surface(bottom)---white

Main Stripe----Remington Mist

Shadow stripe----white

Pin stripe---Silver mist


Very close to having main stripe Apple Red-----but I the colors I chose are going to match the Yamaha 200 on the back---and that was really the deciding factor over red---remington mist has that blue gray look almost exactly like the Yamaha motor-----

I still prefer the light gray bottom but, don't want to be the guniea pig on that one.

Now comes the wait.

Yep, we have both BCB and YCB registered to us and we just now started using it when we check Walleye Central concerning Yar-Craft threads.

CKM, Shorty Evans's family had the hearse led by his Lincoln pulling his Bass Cat with a banner pole to pole that said "Shorty's gone Fishin'".

Here's a link to the Serial Number production albums.
