Oh, and thanks for the welcome, Fouzman!

Got it!!!!

You're darned tootin' a good sense of humor is a prerequisite for fishing and maintenance of sanity!

I had a black hull boat when I lived and fished in Florida. Always had a rough time catching fish in the clear shallow lakes, but no problem over deeper structure. When I moved to Texas, it was less of a problem for me due to stained water. But when I sold it and bought a white hull, my catch success sky-rocketed. I was catching fish almost every trip. Say what you will, but I will never own a black hull unless I can have two boats- a white hull for daytime and a black hull for night.

Thisquestion came up while fishing with a guidein Florida. His answer was in keeping a boat looking good and from having a water line is the only bonus of the dark boat. He had three black boats

The Dark hull makes no difference, it is all in your head. I think a quiet trolling motor is the most important thing to worry about.

The answer is YES....Why?...because I got one!

You should never give me a reason to post a picture of my boat. I am in love with my Legend!

Can I borrow it To see

Blue bottom is where its at.

Seriously though I doubt it makes a difference. I do know that there is nooo way that comes anywhere close to hiding scratches as a white hull. They do look good though

the key is to only fish water that prohibits the fish's ability to get under the boat!

Yes..

You won't see many pro's with a white bottom fishing competition..

I just put a note under my boat that say the bottom of this boat is Black

I always go with the dark bottom. Surely, the white shows up more in Texas waters than black... especially fishing offshore. I could be wrong, but it does seem most pros go black bottom.

Thanks for the feedback.

Seems the concensus is: It makes no difference unless water clarity is a factor.

However, the point made that most (if not all) Pros use a dark colored hull for competition makes one wonder.

hmmmm

mine has so much flake in it must look like a school of shad

but what about their ridiculously bright wraps?some of the wrap sits in the water...kevin worth won while was fishing 3 feet of water and his boat looks like a ballet slipper(i know the reason its pink and i have alot of respect for that so dont bash me guys).but those fish didnt seem to care.i think its one of those fisherman care,fish dont things.thats just my .02
