Richard,
If you like the color, go for it.
I didn't start at specifically looking for a blue boat, but that's what I have,
and I like it. It's flag blue.
While your "experts" are probably correct, their reasons are more technical
than substantive.
Any scratches won't be visible unless the observer is far too close. And
hotter, possibly, but I doubt any difference would be perceptible.
I bought my boat 13 years ago, and its blue hull wasn't pretty, but I started
using Poli-Glo years ago, and I refer to it as the "poor man's awlgrip". It
does a pretty good job of hiding all but the worst scratches, and again, beyond
10 feet, no one will see them.
Other listers have commented on Poli-Glo's benefits as well.
I can send you "Before" and "After" pics if you like.
Fair Winds,
Pete W.
