    Black Two reasons first reason is there’s a lot of red on the boat already second reason if you ever sell them ( separate from the boat) there’s more likely somebody will buy a black set then A red set just might 2 cent.

    I think red would look awesome on that boat. Typically I worry about getting top dollar on trade-ins, but realistically, the used value of such accessories is not enough to lose sleep over. Get what you think looks best. I had red poles on a similarly colored Ranger, and they looked fabulous. On my last boat I decided that having power poles just to sit down for lunch wasn’t a sound financial decision. So now I pull out a little deeper and hit spot lock on the Ultrex.

    Black is safe but red would really look sharp

    I was gonna say black but nahh, I vote red. I think red would accent the red stripes on the boat and motor really nice.

    I bought red Talons for my boat. Then I got cold feet just before the install and swapped with my buddy who just ordered the same set in black. He put the red on his boat and I put the black on mine. Wish I had went with the red. His boat pops, mine is fairly lackluster. I have some red accents on my boat, red would have popped. I vote red for your rig, if it were me.

    Black, I went with blue to match and while I don't hate it but just so many different shades to a color it's tough to make work

    If you go with red it better be an exact match. But I would still go with black. All three (poles and motor) lined up in the same color looks the best to me.


    Have a good one and thank God for it!

    after comparing the color chip of your color to the powerpole id say red its a very close match to your color before seeing that i would have said black. as mentioned above the red is very specific. Black is easier to sell however if your thinking that way.
