which one...

(johnny_gatsby)

At the only Sanger dealer here in WA, I have two choices of color combos to choose from in my price range--I wouldn't pick either of these color combos if I was ordering from the factory, but I could live with either one...

I can see from this board that White and Black is hot right now...but white and lime green....? What say you...

I vote white and lime green. It will be easier to keep clean than the grey and I bet it will look sick on the water!

gray / yellow unique combo

Grey and Yellow will stand out on the water more. It's also easier to find your trailer.

Ah heck, just buy them both...

(extremeisaac) · (extremeisaac) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 09-24-2009, 1:35 PM

actually looking at it again.. the only thing I dont like about the gry/yellow is the yellow trailer.. do they ahve a black trailer? or grey trailer?

(packrat) · (packrat) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 09-24-2009, 1:39 PM

I like the grey one but don't like the yellow trailer. If they are both the same size boats I would ask to swap for the black trailer.

Belive me a custom color is hard to match down the road when gravel hits the trailer. It's tough to match. If you do get the yellow trailer make sure they provide you with some paint as some of the custom colors don't have color codes like cars.

WA has a Sanger dealer??

Back when Copes was in town, one of the guys ordered a lime green Centurion Avalanche. The guys at the factory gave him a ton of crap about it. Then when it was built, they called him back & said they were going to have to build him another boat. Someone high up had seen the first one & claimed it as his own. The boat looked OK on the trailer.... and sweet as can be on the water.

Same thing has been said for Vapor Blue Malibus. One of our local dealers sat on a Vapor Blue LSV for almost all of 2008. In Sept 08 he put on an "on water" boat show & dropped it in the Columbia River. It almost lasted till lunch time on the first day before it sold.

Gray/Yellow is currently in the lead--I am actually leaning toward the gray one probably because I already have a white boat--would like a change. I like the clean/crispness of the white/green--but don't mind having a unique looking boat either...As for Issac..I will have to switch trailers late at night when the place is closed...

Bill K, barely its in Longview and they are AWESOME! It's The Pro Shop and they know they stuff big time when it comes to Sangers Don and his son Jason are great guys and go beyond the extra mile where customer service is concerned.

j.gatsby, you're gonna love those guys. If they haven't mentioned their in floor ballast system ask them about it and get it even if it has the rear tanks (looks like it does). I think the white and lime green looks super clean especially if you were to get the uprights on that tower powder coated white. Throw some white bullets or WS Pro 80's on the tower and your flossed. There is a green and white Mali thats always on the sandbar at crescent bar and that combo looks sexy on the water.

The gray and yellow looks real good. I really like lime green thou (I have a Camaro painted that color) just don't care for white, and love a nice gray, (truck and boat are gray) I would love to see the gray boat with the lime green on it!! I like that graphic design too.

For me the gray and yellow, the other one is too white.

Not a huge lime green fan, but definitely would take white over any other color, so I guess my vote goes Lime Green and White...

(ndavis03) · (ndavis03) **Join Date: Jul 2006** 09-24-2009, 4:47 PM

You may also want to consider the colors of the interior. Personally, I would think the resale on the lime green one would be worse than the grey and yellow.

(nar722) · (nar722) **Join Date: Dec 2003** 09-24-2009, 4:48 PM

I like them both, you cant lose. It does seem that there is also a debate on the grey vs gray boats. Perhaps consider which would show water spots more....you cant really see them on a white boat

(brucemac) · (brucemac) **Join Date: Dec 2005** 09-24-2009, 4:58 PM

no disrespect at all, but is the green in the gel or is it a decal? my point is, if it's a decal and you got tired of it, you could always remove it.

(dohboy) · (dohboy) **Join Date: Aug 2007** 09-24-2009, 5:01 PM

The yellow is nice. Have you asked if the dealer could look around and possibly trade with another dealer for a color you want. When I was looking one of the dealers was looking around for a color scheme that I was interested in.

(quick) · (quick) **Join Date: Jul 2008** 09-24-2009, 5:23 PM

imo the green is sick....this year. Think about 5-10 years down the road when you go to sell to get a new boat. If neon/lime is still cool then you are golden. Yellow may be easier to get rid of in the long run.

I would go green tho! I am all about some neon!

(99_slaunch) · (99_slaunch) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 09-24-2009, 5:36 PM

Yep I would go with the green. It looks cleaner with only white and green. The other one with gray,white and yellow is too much IMO.

Green & white gets my vote.I agree the grey & yellow would look better without the white deck.

Grey and Yellow is amazing.

Check out Portland's Craigslist.
There is a new 08 215 white with a blue V for sale in Troutdale for $36,995.
Not thinking they are even close to that price in longview.

(johnny_gatsby) · (johnny_gatsby) **Join Date: Sep 2009** 09-24-2009, 7:14 PM

I saw the one in Troutdale a few weeks ago and it is an awesome price--I am not sure that that dealer is going to remain a Sanger dealer for long although they led me to believe they were going to get more Sangers at some point--I didn't love the color of that one and frankly they didn't get back to me when I emailed them-

Don at Pro Team Sports offered to give me a decent deal on my trade, which was huge for me, and loaded up the new boat--we haven't done the deal yet but the terms are agreed.

Somebody around here tipped him off to this thread so...Don just kidding about the ol trailer switcheroo plan.....

No offense but the guys in Portland don't no schitt about these boats and last time I talked to them couldn't add anything to them where as TPS does everything themselves some of which is better and smarter than does Sanger. Funny thing was Don did the same by me a good price on my boat and a great trade in value on my trade.

j. gatsby, that was me hope you don't mind. I just shot em and email saying FYI looks like you guys have a good new customer coming your way. It was really to show them that they're getting good pub on WW. What did Don say see your on WW?

Bruce Mac, No that V is in gel coat not a decal.

(johnny_gatsby)

H&P-no problem--Don just said it looked like I was getting a good response to my survey about color choices--I emailed him earlier in the day to say that I was trying to decide if I wanted to stay with the yellow and gray or go green. It was good to get all your input about color--I was kind of split myself--I will be going gray.

Gatsby, I see you are from Kirkland. I live in West Seattle. How about you buy both and I will use whichever one you don't like as much. When you get sick of that one we can switch.

(johnny_gatsby) · (johnny_gatsby) **Join Date: Sep 2009** 09-25-2009, 1:28 PM

No problem polarbill--I don't know what to do with all this money.. I will leave one of them parked down on Alki with the keys in tailpipe and 12 pack in the cooler...

at first I thought the white & lime green but I think I would go with the grey & yellow. It would look even better if it was a darker grey. I like how the white dips from the deck down below the rubrail where the V-graphic is.

Gatsby, you truly are a gentleman. Thanks.
