Who has white
As in not ordering the tan/oyster coloring of a new rig. We went white because unit will be living in Florida. How did you graphics hold up with so much contrast? Scott

I don't see how the color will impact how graphics holds up. I have only had mine about 6 months.
when the sun is bright it can be a little blinding to look close, otherwise ok

I've got a 2012 windjammer 3001w, it's white. All the decals are still in place.

I have a white 2013 Sunseeker, no change in decal color as far as I can tell, and it is parked exposed to full sun year-round. I wouldn't worry about it, if the decals fade, it will be so gradual you won't notice. If they started peeling, it would be a different story, but I have not heard about that so far(unless I missed it). Also, white is easy to maintain, I even use bleach cleaner on it occasionally, no problem.

Who has white
I'm not able to present scientific facts but IMHO more important than the color is the material used on the outside walls. Our Wildcat has white '2" Thick ALUMACAT (tm) Vacuum-Bonded Fiberglass Laminated Sidewalls' and our decals are perfect after 3.5 years.

Have heard of the 303 technique. Use it on my yaks all the time. The last rig around year 6 had to have the decals pretty much pealed off as they were fading and cracking badly. Can't wait to get the new rig.

I have a 2013 rockwood fiver in the tan color. The front cap decals are pealing, but so did my white wildcat. Sits uncovered in the driveway all the time with sun baking on it. The white is cooler to the touch and may cool easier on hot days.

Didn't choose white. The rig was used & just happened to be white. Don't know if that will make any difference with decals. Glad to have the white though. The difference may be small, but anything that keeps the heat from building up when the sun is beating on the side is a good thing.

We ordered our 2017 in white and took delivery in April 2016. Just finished the second season and all the decals are still perfect.
Although the main reason we ordered white is because the oyster was part of a package that cost more and Wasn't fond of the frameless windows anyway that are part of that package. Plus, since we were paying cash, not getting that package was a decent savings.

2011 Sunseeker 2300 - White, parked in the driveway, uncovered. The decals exposed to the afternoon sun have started to fade and crack after about 4 years.

Yea, 4 years in the sun will do that to most anything.
