Depends on the color carpet you have. Also, there will probably be a slight color variation due to age. Even though it has only 160 hrs(which is very good!), that is for the motor only. You may be able to send a picture up to BC and they may give you a better idea. I had a new 97 PII with maroon carpet, and eventually got a deck extension couple of years later. Most people could barely tell a difference, but being the owner, I could. Good luck!96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner
