Help me decide on 2013 VTX color!

Lets face it, that last boat was pretty rockin'. Going to be hard to beat that Atomic Orange. I think metal flake on the tower. Maybe a grey or black metal flake, low key, but trick. Then complimentary or popping metal flake somewhere on the boat. I think if the tower was metal flake you would want the gel where the tower meets to be solid. Maybe make the upper bow trim or side hull metal flake.

Edit:

One Kirkland signature bourbon on the rocks later and here is a suggestion:

Tower (non-polished section): match the charcoal metallic gelcoat

Deck base: ebony

Deck Accent: stratosphere blue metallic

Deck Main: charcoal metallic

Hull main: machine silver metallic

Hull accent: stratosphere blue metallic

Hull base: ebony

Deck accent two:charcoal metallic

Swim platform/surfgat: stratosphere blue metallic

Like this? Looks good. A guy at home has one very similar to this on a 23 LSV. It looks great.20@8_1@16_2@2_3@3_4@19_5@3_6@2_7@19_8@1_9@15_22@14_15@10_19@2.png20@8_1@16_2@2_3@3_4@19_5@3_6@2_7@19_8@1_9@15_22@14_15@10_19@2.png

Just for reference, here are the last three boats. I will add some more green to the second one and see what it turns out like.

First is 2012 Second is 2011 and third is 2007.

I thought you were not a fan of Charcoal Gray? You are right that last combo with You should get Malibu to do a custom for you like your last boats...

I like the charcoal. thought your rueben and charcoal boat looked great! I am trying to find something a little different this year.

My wife likes something with lots of Strat blue. She really likes the 30th anniversary VTX that Wizard has in the showroom.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the blue. It's going to be tough to beat your 2012 because it's simply about as sexy as it gets. That said though, it may be that the boat in person in the colors shown may be just as sweet as the current one.

Atomc orange is tough to follow.

How about progressive gel with following:

Hull base: white

Hull accent: ebony

Hull main: strat blue met

Deck accent: ebony

Deck accent 2: strat blue met

Deck main: strat blue met

Deck base: white

Tower: black

Platform: your call

Put my order in with Ron two weeks ago for a '13 VTX, color combo is rueben, ebony, white, but this looks good imo.....

I think this would look great with the top deck in charcoal metallic!20@8_1@16_2@1_3@20_4@10_5@20_6@1_7@20_8@3_9@15_22@14_15@10_19@20.png20@8_1@16_2@1_3@20_4@10_5@20_6@1_7@20_8@3_9@15_22@14_15@10_19@20.png

I have seen a boat very similar to this and can confirm it is bada$$. I didn't see it on the water though. I have heard that dark colors look better on the trailer, but light colors look better on the water. I like the green color schemes you started with best so far.

I like this one Trent. I went with something similiar with charcoal metallic, black and vapor blue. Just add vapor blue to the front accent and remove silver metallic and put in charcoal metallic. I went with black for the platform and surf gate.
