WTF is up with this???
 
Can anyone please tell me what the fasination is with pink, purple, and turqiouse colors being used on so many boats by manufacturers???? I am looking for a new boat to purchase and there are alot of boats I see that I like but the color combos suck a d!ick. I understand that these colors may have been "cool" in the early 90's but I have seen a bunch of late model boats with these colors.
I just want to know if there is something I am missing about the hideous colors?

It is all about making the wives happy. If the wife likes the colors then it makes it easier for the married men to sell it to their wives. In turn it helps the sale by the manufacturer and the salesman

" Look Honey all the Billet Aluminium is Anodized Purple " In that sentance the only thing the wife understands is all that shiny stuff is purple.

Thats some funny chit MC....I am not totally against purple by itself (LSU color) but it's the mix between pink and purple and then they really go over to the otherside with the turqiouse. It seems Baja and Formula are the leaders of this revolution. It makes you think about what kind of guys are running the design depts.:eek:

Formula doesn't have a single standard color scheme that includes pink, purple, or turquoise.

They used to, when it was popular, but they don't anymore.

I agree with the turquoise!!! And it seems like Baja has ALWAYS used turquoise.

When I first bought my Pantera I was going to have the stripe repainted all purple. I even went and bought the paint. But after a few weeks it grew on me. Plus I tell myself it's red! :D

This is an '06 Formula. The wife and I both like it. I don't think it falls under the hideous or suck d!ck category...:drink:

Brandon 07-18-2007 05:58 PM

What color is that? is it custom? I've never seen it before. I do like it.

I really don't have a problem with any of these colors anyway. Just saying the new boats don't really have the mid 90's pink/teal/purple etc. look to them anymore. In a few years, people will be complaining about all the orange they are using now.

Thanks. The color combo was called Barbados and we got the Silver 3 Series graphic. I believe the only model year this was available was 2006. I guess it wasn't too popular, which is okay by me!
