…actually Charcoal, not black. Pinstrips are malibu silver, which just picks up the silver in the bolt and cap. I will tell you this–every thing that has been said or written here about the improvement in the 08 hull is right on. This boat is tangibly, obviously different and better in the ride, and I think handling, than the 07 was— and my 07 Puma is a fine boat. At the risk of getting laughed at—-the differences are all subtle–like the difference in a very good Cabernet, and a Great Cab. Both are superior, but the great one makes you sit up and pay attention. That is my view of this new boat. If you never rode in an 06 or 07, you would never notice it–but having been in all three, the 08 raises the bar again. JD Power will be real easy for me to answer this year. Mike Whitten
