What's your favorite color for an open boat?
No multi color offerings... just solid colors please.
I have my own preferences... just curious what you like the best.

For whitewater, Paul is most certainly correct. For flat water, green is good.

If this is for the l`edge I really hope it is offered in more than one color.
Preferably multicolor so no two where exactly alike.

Yellow shows up best in photos and easiest for rescue squads to locate. Black gets too hot for plastic. White shows dirt and scratches easily. Purple is a butt boat color. Blue, green and red are for cruisers and tandem boats. There is already an orange plastic solo hot rod.

Hunter Green is best. Tasteful but not flashy
Red, Orange, Yellow are good for pictures but most of us already have enough pictures of ourselves. Blue is good also. Multi color are great it gives the molder something to keep from gettin bord and it lets the pot smokers at the factory express their artistic side. Pictures of the old white Skeeter and Teaureaus always gets good comments. Black is good and goes with all gear. Camo could bring a whole new groups of boater in to the fold. Shartruse would be perfect for buttboater who have come from the dark side and would help compensate for the loss of their dresses. Orange tends to cause problems between the UT and Cleamson fans
If Hunter green is not available I think I would like Pasley

I owned a Checker at one time, but it was blue. It did have those little fold down wooden stools behind the front seats.

Let me guess. What you rode in before you had a job, what you drive now that you have a job and what you look like on the river in the Prototype. Right?
