Think about trying to get replacement vinyl in about 8 years for these boats. It's hard enough just to find the same white vinyl for a 2000 Four Winns, let alone, black, green, red, gray etc. I'm sure few people would think about that when they are buying one of these boats new. Likely will not be an issue for original buyer, but IT WILL be for the 2nd or 3rd owner. In several of Frenchys' videos, he says something about "made exclusively for Four Winns" that is the red flag right there.

Four Winns doesn't say the manufacturer of the vinyl, which sucks. When I had my H180 redone they couldn't get me the brand either. At least Stingray tells you exactly what they use and what the color codes are. http://www.omnova.com/products/marineUp ... tolex.aspx

My boat stays inside so I have no worry about fading...but even if it was outside more the horizontals are white...verticals are red. Would think that also would minimize fading....same goes for the show boat.

The tinted windshield makes it cooler in the boat..makes console much cooler.
