Want have black ever. White isn't that bad to keep clean and shows less scratches. Current boat is white with a black bottom. Want do that again either. No colored bottoms except white. The colors and metal flakes just show to many blemishes after a few years of fishing.

All my boats have been dark and my current Skeeter is black. It's black all over. It's not any hotter to fish from than any other boat I've been in as the carpet is the same color..gray. If the seats have any color to them at all (most do, even in white boats) they will be hot and mine definitely
are.

As far as keeping it look clean, mine is flat black and flat gray and water spots do show up on it so I do take 10-15 minutes in between trips to wipe it down. Those spots are only noticable when I'm standing close to the boat. When you're running by me on the lake, or passing me on the highway, or even just looking at it from 50' away you would never notice. You would probably notice the colors though.

One other thing to consider, is black and dark colored boats sell very well.

Here are a couple of pics of the day I got it and the dirtiest its ever been. It was pulled all the way from Arkasnas on a rainy muddy day and hadnt been wiped down yet.

No harder to keep clean than any other boat I've had.

My partner bought a black v20 last year and it looks like new. Wipe it down before you leave the ramp and it will stay clean.

Love my black Nitro Z19. I just wipe it down everytime i use it. Takes about 5 minutes. Love the color and would buy another black boat.

I think people are taking about the black being on consoles,seats or inside of boat will make it hotter. When you have a black boat with a light color inside you will not see a hotter boat. I will tell you if you fish in Texas and your seats are a dark color and you sit on them when in the sun in July or August you will burn your legs with shorts on. This is why when people who do buy darker color boats have either white or some color of silver on the inside and in seats to get rid of heat in seats. I have had black bottom on rangers and Phoenix boats and not any harder to keep clean. I will tell you I fish fork with theses boats. I do not intentionally beat the boat against stumps, but with that being I didn't see a lot of scratches on the bottom and it clean just as easily as the other colors.

I love a dark colored boat. My 2017 is the first one I've owned. So far it has not been hard to keep clean. I did have to wash it after fishing this last weekend on a river. Scung lines are even worst on a light color boat. I used the same gray seats as most boats. I do believe black seats are hotter but all seats are hot in 100 weather. Here is my 2017 Puma ftd.

Op just get the color you like.
I have a dark boat very similar to Andrew's puma above but a smaller model and I like the color a lot.
The color you like is the most important factor as all colors have positive and negative aspects.

I have a all solid black gambler with golf flake and silver pin striping. When it's clean it's beautiful. But it gets dirty easy, I just wipe it down with BBS when I leave the lake.
It doesnt get that hot. Not like you would think a black boat would.
Go for it! I went black, probably won't go back.

Fish can't see the bottom. They can on a white bottom. Just my theory.
