Have had white seats in the last 8 boats I have owned. Hope they dont discontinue white vinyl. Do you have to work to keep them clean? Not any harder than any other color, you can just see the dirt on the white, instead of the darker colors where youre rubbing it all over your clothes. If you keep a clean boat, white seats are no problem. If you wash your boat once a year, whether it needs it or not, dont go for the white seats. Simple Green works pretty darn good at cleaning them. A plastic shopping bag will fade on any color seat, but it will show up worse on the white. In 8 years, Ive had to replace 1 seat because something bled on it that would not come off. It was an inner tube (I have no idea why the man was sitting on an inner tube. It was Lake Erie and maybe he was having some issues with his… Im not going there) and it left a nice brown ring complete with “Made in China” imprinted on the seat. The wife wanted to know if the co-angler that day had a perfectly round butt. Very funny. The white sure is nice in the summer.
