Love that color, will it be an option for all your models? Or just the cc?

That blue and white is awesome looking!

Beautiful boat, I priced it out without any electronics and still came out to over $36K, guess I'll never own one.

Looks excellent.

The boat looks great. The cooler though, you are going to need to incorporate a foam block into the bottom of the lit that fits inside the gasketed lip. Aluminum, even white painted aluminum, gets really hot in full sun. On a sunny 80 degree day without insulating that lid, all of your ice will be gone within two hours. That is a pretty quick fix or modification.

I do really like the layout of this model and the color is really nice, not something you see every day. The aluminum trailer is a nice touch as well.

I find it hard to believe it wont last 2 hrs in 80 degrees. The bottom portion is fiberglass, not aluminum, so it doesn't act like a heatsink. These are designed for day use only. I'm willing to bet even in 100 degrees weather, there will be ice after a fishing day.

I'll take that bet every day of the week. I'll put $1,000 on it.

Have you ever grabbed a piece of white painted aluminum that has been sitting in the sun for 30 minutes on a warm day? I did this summer, it was as bad as trying to handle a hot potato fresh out of the oven. Granted for this cooler lid, you will have ice sitting under it so that could help keep it cool, but the sun will most definitely heat it up and that energy will transfer into the cooler and melt the ice.

Point is, it needs a layer of insulation that is profile cut to fit inside the gasketed lip and it will greatly increase the efficiency of the cooler. Even a layer of carpet over the cooler helps provide some insulating factor but there isn't carpet in the center console versions.

I like the tin bass, but WOW that is a sweet ride ! Very versatile. This will be a big seller. I hate to go there but a 150 HP rating would be even better.

I currently have the ranger rb190 with the painted floor, it's white and I can stand barefoot on it in the summer and my feet don't burn, it's something about the coating that keeps it cool. No, it's not cold but I have had dark colored carpet before and it got hotter than the floor in my ranger.
