      If there was common sense, then we wouldn't have the problem in the first place!

      We really should, as club "leaders", try to at least encourage this practice. Would go a long way toward keeping the racing clean and the boats safer.

        I didn't realize they could be ordered in two colors like that! Thought it was custom paint. It's that much cooler now! haha

        Dang, another one to add to the list to pick up! Gonna hope the money tree I planted sprouts soon.

            I'd have to go with red and black like Mark's, or the orange and black like you are doing. I bet that is gonna look sick too! Can't wait to see it.

                Does common sense include not having a black bottom boat in the first place?

                  If you think that everyone needs to run boring white or yellow or orange boats, then I suppose it could...

                  I like to think that common sense would mean that, when someone HAS a boat with a black or blue or green bottom, they have the sense to add some color to it in strategic places so it can be seen when inverted.

                  No reason to take the fun out of painting your boat, just add a couple of bright spots that can be seen.

                  Not sure why people have to take this kind of thing to the extreme??

                      AND gel coat! I hate boats that are just left in gel coat even if its colored, to me its like having a new car in primer....... no offense to anybody that does this, I just like paint!

                        Since I only do saw racing I'm not to worried about the bottom. Besides just because you have a bright neon orange bottom doesn't mean your not going to get run over. I think it really makes very little difference what color you choose.
                        Jeepers if you like painting then just order your boat in epoxy and Jeff will put a white primmer on it instead of gel coat.

                            I agree with Mark and Darin. Unless the dead boat is in the front straight, you don't really get much chance to see & navigate around a dead boat in the turns, especially in the back straight. In the heat [pun?] of racing, it's tough to judge the correct avoidance path no matter what color the boat is. Seeing it doesn't always help, especially because you're watching your own boat so closely. A good pit man is most important to keep you from accidents, but they do happen regardless of color-trust me !
