I am considering purchasing a T170 pro. The WS site only shows the boat in red. They do provide a color chart, but it is difficult to appreciate the colors that way.
I would like to see some photos of real boats in real settings. DOes anyone have some links to photos?
The colors that I am most interested in seeing are all over white hulls: Orange, Olive, Skyblue, Red and Mercury.
I was thinking of yellow, but thought it migh cause a little too much glare.
Blue is nice Kudzo, Thanks for the quick response. I agree that the blue is nice, but it seems like that and red (which I also like) are the most common colors.
I would like to have something a little different. I currently paddle a mango (yellow/Orange) Tsunami so the orange might be a good match for me.
My Plan When the deck gets all faded and scratched up I think I’ll paint it a medium to dark gray. Flat, not glossy. I think that would be easy on the eyes and look nice with black trim.
The Olive is pretty tame and comes with a ivory hull. Yellow isn’t glarry at all, tho it is the most popular color, next to red. the red is deep. There are 2 blues mercury blue and sky. I know there are pics of both on Jon’s site. Cindy has sky over orange, it’s sweeeet. The orange is always nice, especially mixed with yellow! safety first!
fwiw- I have a T-165 that’s Lime deck/ red hull. we call it the chili pepper. it’s pretty striking. It was my mom’s, I inherited it when she passed away a couple years ago. sweet boat.
Ours I have a T170 Pro that is yellow over orange, and my wife has a T165 Pro that is orange over yellow, each with a black belt. As it was said in a previous post, think of aesthetics, but also think of visibility.
weight of colors Thanks everyone for the input and photos
I saw a previous post that there may bea differnce in the weight of the kayak depeding on colors. I believe it was stated that orange was heavier than (not sure what the other color was.
Is this true? If so how much of a differnce could it make?
