I've got a 2004 Triton I bought new. White hull and cap, easy to clean, doesn't show scratches, etc. I have begun to see some yellowing on the transom. Going to try to buff that out. I've had several black hulls and every scratch\mar would show up. All that being said, I have a light tan interior which I absolutely cannot keep looking good.

White will hide the scrapes and scratches for sure. Not sure of any cons because I have never fished out of one or owned one. I seen a Ranger Z519 that was solid white and it looked good.

I like the look of white. Like said before it hides scratches and contrary to popular belief white hide dirt more than dark colors IMO.

I like mine. White stains, so do other colors- just shows on white. Stains come out easy with off-the-shelf cleaning products.

Had a red, black, silver Skeeter. Sold it.

Bought a Skeeter with mostly white boat, white bottom, with yellow and black accents. I wash and clean my boats religiously.

Bottom line I am back in a black bottom, red, black, and silver boat. I felt the white showed more scratches and was hard to keep from yellowing.

I thought white would be the answer and was just not happy with results.

White is way cooler (heat-wise, not coolness factor) in the Texas heat. I go with white and the lightest color floors possible (light grey works). Ever notice that virtually all saltwater boats are white? With a no-carpet white floor you can walk on it in the hot weather with no shoes. Try that with carpet!

As for cleaning, I have never had an issue with keeping a white boat (or truck) clean.

White weighs less bc of the lack of flake

White doesn't show scratches very easy

White is a bit more nuetral allowing easier resale, add a black and/or silver stripe and it looks good behind nearly anything

White is much cooler in the heat

I LOVE white boats, including mine although it is wrapped now, simply to advertise my business and 'look like I am a pro' (LOL, I don't think that, but added that for humor. The guys in the OT would appreciate the comment).

It's all what YOU like! I love white! I have a white wife, a white labradoodle dog, a white Cessna Skyhawk, and all white work trucks cry

White is so simple to keep clean! Just my opinion. But I think it's classy!

Love my white Skeeter, it gets a little yellowing on the water line. But, Hull cleaner works real well on that.

I'd like a white boat with carbon fiber cowlings. And carbon fiber power poles, and maybe a carbon fiber looking graphic. With black or charcoal colored carpet and charcoal/carbon seats. Maybe a carbon fiber engine cover. Would look pretty cool IMO. The trailer would need to match with carbon fenders and black 18 or 20" wheels that match my jeep wheels.

I have had several colors including boats with alot of white in them.White on the inside is cooler but shows those little black marks where your rod eyes touch the cap. I think the best interior color is a silver color (pick your favorite variation). If your a guy that doesn't have alot of rods ride on the deck or you keep rod socks on them then white is good. I keep my boat waxed on the hull so it wipes off easy but I fish alot of clear water too.

Use 303 aerospace protectant, and you won't have yellowing.

Never understood how they get so many to pay full price for a white boat with no flake


Same reason a new car cost the same whether it is white or glittery purple. It takes the same amount of money to paint it. Flake does look good, but wait until it needs a repair. Ouch!! White has to be wiped down every time you use it. Not a big deal to me. SUMMER HEAT! White for sure.

I like white boats, and black boats, and other colored boats...I really like colors with lots of flake, but not so much where the color is ALL flake..if that makes any sense.
