BCB, Wondering if you can give me an “official” answer on a question? Is it an option or are you able to order a boat (Sabre FTD) with a WHITE Trim Stripe? I am ordering on Friday and just curious about this if it is possible. Thanks, Halls

No gel colors on trim stripes. They run into the other colors. This is not isolated to Bass Cat. All have this problem. Some mfgs. continue to use though.

Phil is correct, the trimstripe has to be a metal flake color. BCB

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.

Halls, If a white trim stripe is what you must have then here is the solution. Order the boat in the closest color you can such as a silver trim stripe, which would look fine, Then pull that boat over to your local sign shop and let them put the white pin stripe over your silver pin stripe and it will look great. The sign shops do a really good job at lettering and striping. It is not very costly and if you ever get tired of the white then pull of the stripe and let the silver sparkle. One of the guys in my Club did this and it looked fine. He had a blue hulled classic with silver Lightning bolt and silver pins and actually got the sign shop to overlay the lightning bolt and make it white. They did a great job and it looked really good. After a couple of years he decided to pull it off and the silver was as good as new. This should take care of you if you must have the white pins. Chris Coupel Paulina, La.Chris CoupelPaulina, La.

Hard to beat the looks of a black, red and white boat with a Merc.

Yes mine is red white blue with Etec motor. It does look better/cooler when the boat/motor match IMHO. Like the post above that looks sharp!
