6.3.3 Notes for sunny conditions for Black OPS boats
The boat requires special attention when it is used in hot and sunny conditions.
In the construction of our boats, we use a high quality Premium Topcoat yacht paint for aesthetic high
gloss finish and durability.
If you have selected this coating in a dark color, such as Gunmetal Grey or similar, it is of paramount
importance that you are aware of certain maintenance considerations when using your boat in high
temperature, high UV or environments exposed to extreme direct sunlight.
Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in negative issues experienced on board as also voiding
parts of the warranty of the boat.
