    Question Owners opinion on RT178 camo with 2016 75 ETEC?

    Hot in summer?
    Slippery when wet?
    Noisy?
    Dry compartments?
    2016 75 Etec?

    I had the rawhide on my 188. Was very happy with it. Easy to clean for sure. Not really hot but hotter than carpet. Everything was always dry.not noisy,not slippery.I think you will like it

    Oil tank is under the cowl on the 90hp and under etecs. The 115 has the remote mounted tank.

    I have the light grey "raw hide" deck in my RT-188... I think it's cooler to the touch than the carpet in the boat I had before.
    I think the camo will get very hot in the summer sun as will any dark color.
