[quote=samc99us][quote=MN3][quote]Nacra have been shipping black hydroturf for a while now on the newer boats, it does get hot in the summer and isn't my personal preference in a hot climate but it also doesn't stain nearly as easily as the gray from what I have seen and heard.

I've only seen the grey used.
I am serious that i can't sit on my grey hulls here in florida in the summer - i had to cover the decks with white non skid
SLO (my least fav vendor in the world) has a video showing temps of different color tramps in the cali sun: the range is 113 for black tramps vs 74 deg for white fabric
amazing range[/quote]
Found the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsXEEXKg38Y
124 deg F for the blue vinyl trampoline installed on a boat. 116 for a piece of black vinyl, blue is 109, grey is 99, red is 89, and white is 69. This is in July in the shade on a 70 degree day. Nacra are using a mix of white and blue on the N17 Mk. 2, which is probably fairly reasonable temperature wise. Florida is tough in the summer, lots of water helps.[/quote]
