Fellow dark green hull owner here. I thought about calling it "Gone Green $$"... worked on lots of levels... Money is gone, now in the boat. Could also take a spin from going green, which is the opposite of a gas boat with big fuel sucking engines.

Keep after your hull with lots of wax. :)

Yes very few out there. Other than mine I've only seen one 280 and a 320DA on the bay. The 320 was badly chalked out and looked minty green. Mine is holding up well with 3 waxes per season. I usually hit it in the spring, mid season, and fall before winterizing. Meguires Flagship cleaner wax leaves it a nice wet / deep green color. Then I put a top coat of collinite #845 or the marine version (I think its #925 ... same formula just extra $$ because it says boat - per collinite). Both are fairly easy on and off as long as you keep after it. Woody wax works great on the deck.

Also, found a great tool at Costco 2 years ago (had it again this past season). Google "bon-aire ultimate water blaster". Nice extended reach hose attachment with a rotating spray head. Easy to reach out to rinse under the bow and down the sides of the boat after a run, especially the side that doesn't have a finger pier. The Chesapeake is brackish water and the salt droplets leave residue if you don't rinse them off. You can really see it against the darker hull colors. Costco's price was less expensive (if you could find them) than on amazon, but well worth it even at amazon's price. Actually bought a couple extra to give as Christmas gifts to family members who have SUVs too. Have no issues with mine after 2 seasons of use, despite some of the less stellar ratings on amazon.

Not sure I can help out too much with the name, but would love to see pictures of the green hull. We bought a burgundy hull from 2007, and have never really seen any other 320s that were not white/black/blue/tan.
I definitely recommend a wet sand / polish / wax by either a professional or someone who is knowledgeable. Made a world of difference in my boat.

Thank you for the reply and the information I boat on lake Erie fresh water I don't know if I can attache a pick or not but will try The color is pretty goOd only a few places that needs some attention. The price was right for an 04 the guy wanted to move up to a 40 ft carver for his grandkids.And I just sold my 260 to move up .He took pretty good care of it and we traced it back to the original owners in Oklahoma so it's fresh water all the way.A buddy of mine mentioned using Buff Magic. I used Maguire on my 260 buy it was a a 2011 and white.I am.going to get negative crap from my boat neighborhood for getting a dark hull but Oh well .Jealousy will get you know where.

Pretty boat, that color is like my burgundy, so dark that in most pictures it appears almost black.

HeyBigb,
I'd recommend getting some fender covers if you are going to be along that finger pier as your final destination. When I got my green hulled 300, it had some fairly significant fender rash that needed a heavy compounding to get out, and that chafing doesn't take much to start showing up with a dark hull. My boat was on Lake George and either was tied tightly to the floating finger pier & fenders or was in a position where the wind pushed it up tight against the dock & fenders without a line to hold it away. Some fender covers would have done the trick. I have black nylon knit ones from WM for when I tie up to old splintered fixed pilings, and some with polar fleece for raft ups and floating dock visits.

Hull / Boat looks great BTW!

On my 320, I have the fixed soft top option instead of the bimini option. Ever since we moved to Wisconsin, and removed the top for transport, I have small leaks during rain. It used to be dry as a bone even during strong rain. I don't feel like I'm getting the top fixed to the rail as tightly as it used to be. Todd (Todd 320) it looks like we have the same boat! Mine is painted. Started out pewter...but that's another story. Any tips from anyone with the fixed option to get that top tight and stop the leaks (usually where top and side windows fit together)

I currently do not have any canvas except the soft top and a cover for storage, waiting for a quote any day. I kept the front isinglass for the trip down, but threw it out since it was only good to keep the rain off, you could not see through it. I have not noticed any issues with rain coming through the top.
