Default What Colour for my New Boat?

After alot of thought I've decided I'm going to order an Angler's Fancy "Comfort" 19ft by Burke Boats.

They tell me that I can choose whatever colour I like. Does it make a dam bit of difference or not?

Your opinions are always wecome.

Regards,

Ray.

Yes mate, its your bit of property, its your boat , so whatever colour you want ask for it,


ship grey in the inside leave it very clean looking, its up to you mate,

if your putting a name on the boat he will do that for you as well,

good luck with the new boat

As liam says it is your boat and you can choose but if you are just after a census I would choose white or maybe green or the blue possibly red you could even have it in hi viz yellow so you can find it in the dark. But seriously down to you Just enjoy the boat very nice. Just be careful when you smash that bottle of champaign on it when launching good luck.

You could always go for this colour scheme, might cause violent sickness to those of you at a weak disposition.

Well done on ordering a new boat, how fantastic.
I had a small boat some years ago on Ullswater and painted it a dark green, with a ship grey interior.
It did look smart, and I named it YAN, as that is Cumbrian slang for one, and it was my first. My friends was called Tethera as that means three in Cumbrian.
I think a good name for a boat is "SHY TALK"
Try saying that fast.
Good luck, and stay safe.

Couldn't he just have done that from a standing position and saved getting wet???
