I love the sleek, regal look of a black hulled boat. My past vessels have been in good shape and the need to paint has never arisen. However, I recently purchased a Newport 28 two months ago and it needs new hull paint. If I'm going to paint it then might as well be the color I want, right?
I would like to hear experiences from people who actually HAVE EXPERIENCE sailing on and (more importantly) sleeping on dark hulled crafts.
I live in SoCal where the weather is always breezy and very cold at night even in July.
Am I going to turn my boat into an oven with a dark hull?
Is it going to be impossible to make it look clean 24/7?
I've gotten alot of ya-ya from inexperienced opinions.
I would like to know facts, please![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
