I was browsing the www.lakevikingmarine.com website to see if I could see any '09 boats with the cream interior. I didn't but I did see this 232. I always wondered what a solid colour hull would look like on a COBALT. I like it.

2009 232 Special

Edit Reason: Something a little smaller ...

Purty! Lot's of wiping down after use.

Why is it "special"?

Looks sharp, but it won't hide any sins.

In other words, I need a white boat.

Actually, if you go to the LVM website and look at the interior shots, I think that boat does have the new interior color as well as the new rivulet carpet upgrade. I have the same on my '09 242.

Personally, I don't think the new interior is quite as yellow as others have said. (I think the fact that you didn't notice it in the picture may also support that.) Yes, the first time you get on the boat you'll probably notice and say, "hey, that's a cream interior, not white." But after that, I doubt you'll notice.

As for the black hull. It sure is pretty on the trailer and it would go great with my black truck. But, I wouldn't want the extra cleaning hassle.

Seems a fair number of bowrider mfr's are going the whole-hull color route. I agree with what others have posted -- looks good on the trailer, but give me a white hull please.

What I don't understand is why people who post such a huge photo don't find it annoying...

As long as it belongs to someone else, it sure looks GREAT!

I went back and looked. When you compare one of the photos of the sunpad against the gel coat, I agree, it doesn't look yellow, it looks like it might be 'off white'. Could be very nice. I'll be curious to check it out in person.

Black shows EVERYTHING. Hardwater spots, Fender rash, If the tubes touch it,ect,ect,ect. Its a real PITA to keep clean. I love the way it looks but hate the time it takes to keep up. When we get our next boat I'm looking at white.

That is a sharp boat. Did anyone notice that the 232 is last years 222? The new math for measuring a boat has finally reached Cobalt!
