So I am needing to replace some of the canvas tops on my boat and have always liked the look of black. So this would be an opportunity to switch over all of my canvas, beginning with the three tops, and then later the rear camper pieces (rarely used). This is the original canvas, so they've lasted nearly 13 years.
My wife and some friends think that I'd regret it. Fading, bird crap, general cleanliness are disadvantages. The tan color doesn't really show any dirt. My boat sits out on a boat lift nearly year-round.
So to those of you who have it, is it a pain to keep clean? Does the black sunbrella fade? Does it always look dirty unless its freshly cleaned?
Thanks,
Tom
