Bama, I have already finalized and put $1k down on the initial order/price about 2 weeks ago. But, I actually go tomorrow up to WI and meet my salesman/dealer at the WI boat show to finalize and make any last minute changes to the order. Yes, color has been a long standing issue as I still am on the fence between the Merc 150 Opti & the Evinrude Etec 150 HO…and a red/black/white boat with a navy engine would look tacky in my opinion. So I had a color scheme set for the Etec (Starlight Blue hull & cap, Fire Red hull & cap inserts, white boot & trim stripe, white seats) , but that just got blown up not being able to have a white pin stripe… Kelly, you have a Blue White Red color scheme on yours right? Lots of good stuff out there about the Etecs and a lot of pros are going that way it seems….??? HallsLast edited by Halls1030 on January 24th, 2008, 5:12 pm, edited 1 time in total.
