Thoughts on colors...
I'm fixing up an older 14 foot Gregor that has a blue-ish/ grey interior coating. The bench tops may get a stained wood finish or a vinyl covering of yet unknown coloring. If I get the SliderG5's, I'm locked into trying to match the interior to them in green. If they were offered in a neutral color, a tin boat rebuilder could install them without having to worry about it being the right shade of red, green, blue or whatever color. By neutral color, I was thinking maybe one or more of these would be good-
White or a light grey . Either gloss or a semi flat. Cool in the summer, always looks clean and matches up well with the average color fishing boat interior.
Aluminum. Dull or bright. A little shiney gloss "bling" to make a boat stand out.
Black. Gloss or flat. These might get a bit hot on a summer day. I would be willing to take that chance. This would look good with any color or stained wood.
One last idea would be to also offer them uncoated. This way the customer could have them color matched by thier local powder coater in whatever shade floats thier boat.
Thanks, Tom.
