Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

I saw a picture of a pontoon with dark gray seats with black accents. I thought it looked sharp! Has anyone any experience with dark seats? Are the hotter? Do they last as long? Do they not show grime as much?

Also, if I go with dark seats, it's almost impossible to find a helm to match. Everything seems to be standard beige or light gray. I'd like something different.

I had black accents on my last boat and they got a lot hotter than the white parts. I've got no doubt that any very dark color will be awfully hot.

On a side note....you can paint the helm any color you like. There are paints for any material.

Good luck,
Dave

The Darker the hotter they will be in the sun.

Talk about a hot piece of ass!

I have white seats with a Black accent, most the time they are fine, but when its hot out and the sun has been out for a few hrs they get good and hot, usally end up putting a towel down, I will say with a wet swim suit or if you just got out of the lake you wont notice it. They cool off very quickly.

There are many reasons we've installed white terry-cloth covers on all our seats.
