The thing the struck me most about the Parkers at the last 2 boat shows,
is the ugly color. Looks like an old yellowed gel coat. The 30-40 year
old look is actually OK with me, but the color is a killer.

At one time the "off white", sorta beige or dull yellow color was desirable
and many boats, including Hatteras were done with it. It reduces the sun
glare. At some point the industry decided that bright white was prettier,
and the yellow died out.

You guys make a good point and one I never thought of.

Although, thinking back, I don't think I've ever owned a non-white
boat - except for the Princecraft and a Lund.
