Def eye catchy and something you dont see everyday!! I like it, my only concern would be when it came time to resale would the bold color scheme hurt for potential buyers.

Eye catching, yes. Ugly as sin? Yes.

Queue the Miami Vice music... It's a pretty bold and brave color choice but, it's your boat. If you care about top dollar resale very much, its always safer to stick with classic colors. If not, have at it. It'll certainly be an attention getter. What color is your tow vehicle?

Could find a buyer in Seattle

Resale,I figure I'm screwed on it no matter what. I put around 200,to 250 hours a season anyways. My sa has 440 hours. That hurts resale no matter what. Tow vehicle is black. But I live on the river so boat will b in a covered lift,for the most part. I figure for resale I've got to price it right no matter what for hours reasons. Go on supra's web site and build what u think is cool. I like blue,and I thought the green looked cool too.

I like bold colors but even that's a bit much.

Ok on a serious note.
Try and separate the Bold colors like the Green & Blue with a Silver or White pin stripe (don't know if supra has that option) I think that will break it up and not make it look so chuncky.

I don't think the colors are bad. But I think there is a lot of it. (Green & Blue) If you had a White hull it would make the boat more Main Stream as far as resale go's IMO.

The thing with solid boats is it's only solid color when it's on the trailer. When it's in the water you don't see the hull so if you could make the hull a more main stream color (white or silver) to help you in re-sale then, I think you would be doing better.

I think a little bass boat glitter in your colors would be great on this boat.

Hey I really like the last one!! May do that. What bout inside? I like blue more than green.
Old     (DBurke)      Join Date: Sep 2012 Location: Tennessee       11-09-2014, 10:10 AM Reply   
Yea I thought the silver flake went well with the blue..Inside was light graphite, dark graphite and blue accents

It's your money Chris , order it as crazy as you want. Sounds like your well aware that those colors are gonna be a tough resale. So I say go crazy with the blue and green !! I'll bet this boat looks a lot better on the water then on the boat builder. But with that said .... I would be scared to death to order a boat with those colors could look great or like a hot mess. Either way that SE is a monster and congrats on the Supra !!

Chris I know that you have you heart set on Blue and Green but I would try to keep the exteror one pattern and add your blue inside with welting leds ext. Another option would be to partially wrap it that way you can always change it up for resale, ect. I'm not a big green guy because our water up here is green enough but i through this together for you.

Change the green to white and be done. All of these crazy colors are cool but nothing beats a clean classic look.

Mark, I like the Green and Silver with the white low trim, but with the add a black hull to me would look sick. Black out Supra logo and the black/green on the tower with blacked out tinted windows would tie it all together. Black Trailer with only the the wheel wells in Green. That would look sick to me.

Here is another option, a little different... black, white, gunmetal flake. If you sell your boats often, neutral colors always seem to be a little better for opening up more buyers.

I'm agreeing with u. I'm starting over. I plan on keeping it atleast 3 years. But I thought that with the sa...so I'm listening to the ppl here and goin back to the coloring board. Also ppl say red and blue (not together) have the best sales. So let's c where that takes me....

Lol, I hear ya.... my 15 VLX is on order, just sold my '13. This new boat is definitely a 5 year keeper....remind me I said this in a couple years :-)

I suggest picking one bright color, and supplementing with vinyl for the other bright color. This way to can peel it off and sell more easily. You'd NEVER sell that boat. Or if you did, you'd lose another 10K trying to.
