Stealth Black??

Recommended Posts

I have a question, does anyone have a stealth black Polaris, I am debating between black and blue, but a buddy of mine said dont get black because they show every scratch and brush mark. He said a dealer told him that dealers have a hard time selling the black one. I think the black looks awesome, but I don't want to buy it if it marks up so easily. Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences with the stealth black. They do have a different texture then the other colors and it feels like it would be pretty scratch resistant??

Thanks for any input.

I would get black, but I think the scrathes will more less be scuff marks and will look DULL, adds charactor though. I the part about scratch and then looks white, like the guy said above me molded black will not show as white. it's not painted. Black would be awsome, just might appear a little dull after a while

I would have bought black when I got my kawasaki, the only downfall was that the black kawasaki had red tubing for racks which looked terrible! The best black ATV I have seen is the new Arctic Cat with black paint with pearl in the paint. Ride it in the sun and the pearl coat really stands out!! Looks pretty sweet! Just not a big cat fan.

Black with black rims. It looks even better with the Mattracks.

As for scratches? it's an ATV.

It does clean up nice though.

Running boards are 17" long and 7" wide on my 2008 SP800. No problem with size 11 boots.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
