Good morning
I was just told that the 2024 boats can order Yamaha 300’s in the Grady cream color instead of the pearl white.
What do you think ?

Agreed. For the price, I would think they should be available with gold plating, real bits of unicorn dust or something similar.

I think a custom refinishing with whatever color or colors that you want can be done less expensively than the premium you’ll pay to get the upgraded color from the factory. But I’ll still stick with black.

Honestly, I think the whole monochromatic color scheme is too much. I like some contrast.

If the new color has the effect of making motors with the original color less expensive, I'm all for it:)

I like it! The dealership painted mine the Grady cream color as part of the sales deal. Looks amazing!

Yes !
It’s been a battle between the Celestial Blue and the Ocean Mist …271… decision needs to be made asap. Ocean Mist is the front runner.
Whatever boat color you choose, get the Grady cream color engine. Really adds a smooth custom look to the whole boat. The pearl white would really stick out against the cream.

I have a 281 being built, scheduled to be complete end of November. The sales person said they'll come painted in the Grady cream but I'm not seeing any 2024s out there yet on the web (new arrivals shown in dealer inventory) with the cream color engines yet. I hope they do come cream and not white.

That would make me nervous. I'd make sure that is in writing somewhere.

Of course, it’s a good business model…if you ever need to replacement one of the engines or new lower unit , crown, trim mount. Grady White will glad to sale you more custom parts to match.
