[quote=benedict]DAMN that's a sexy boat!
One thing for sure: open the ports and leave it outside and uncovered, and it's gonna be dry dry dry inside in no time.
If the boat is near you, bring a non-contact thermometer. A friend picked one up for me for less than $20 a couple of years ago. The thing is great for stuff like this. Point, click, and find out just how hot it gets in the sun. In any case I can't imagine it would be much worse to sit on than a black tramp. If it starts to get hot, swing into a wave and let the spray cool things down.
Heat aside, you might contact a gel coat manufacturer to find out what the story is on black gel coat and UV damage. If it's absorbing more in the UV, it may fade faster than lighter colored gel coats. I know red gel coats used to be prone to this. Not sure about modern chemicals.
If you get it, let us know how it is! >drool<
