rsargentjr Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I'm wondering if there are any recent B52 purchasers who have solid charcoal color on the bottom and tops of their boat. I'm at Havasu, and wondering if it's too dark. The rest of the boat will be a combination of Pearl Sea Foam and Metallic Aqua, with some Metallic Silver to set it all off. Because MB doesn't do any metallic or pearl on the very top or the bottom of their boats, I need to pick a solid color, and white is out of the question.

bloodiestcadaver Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Ive seen charcoal on seafoam and it looks fine. But never aqua with seafoam. Might clash a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creativefletch Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Charcoal is going to be fairly dark. Attached are a couple examples of Charcoal. I Think the charcoal looks really good but on the interior and all over the gunwale and top that is going to get hot in Havasu. Also, with the extremely hard water out there it's going to spot and show pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativefletch Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 This is Platinum Grey which is a little lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_MB Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Nice pics @creativefletch! I like that Platinum Grey with the light interior. You have a good selection of pics. You located in Atwater? 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working on getting them set-up better to showcase as an inspiration area on the website. AZ_MB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsargentjr Posted April 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Creativefletch, I thought about the charcoal being too dark, but there’s very little that seems to show on the 25, given the seats and the Gator step. It’s almost an accent color. The most that will show is around the base of the seats. I am concerned about the Havasu hard water, but I’ll have ceramic coating on it.

rsargentjr Posted April 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 Final color scheme. I got to take a visit to the factory yesterday and sit with them laid out gel colors and interior colors and fabrics. I think I may have the first 25’ with colors. Very excited.

Guppydriver Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I have a white boat/ white interior (I'm lazy) I took to Havasu a few summers ago and even that thing got hot as Hades. I would personally lighten up the color. Make sure you follow ALL the big dealers on Instagram for great interior/exterior ideas. That's going to big a bad ass boat. I was sitting in one yesterday at the dealer and it's not sh!t as big as a G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creativefletch, you’ll have to post a pic when you see it come out Congrats man! Can't wait to see how it turns out and how she performs on the water. I haven't seen much yet regarding the wake or wave. I'm sure it will be awesome! When is delivery expected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsargentjr Posted May 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 The finished product is getting real close now. Here’s a good look during the build process. Amazing how fast these guys can put a boat together. Seems like they may have done it a time or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ_MB Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 What motor are you guys getting your 25's with? I assumed the 575 would be standard like it is on the F24 but the ones I'm seeing so far don't have the 575. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gas mileage on a 25 w/ a 440 would be very inefficient. I was out today fully loaded and the 575 felt effortless and smooth… for what it’s worth.
