What is everybody's opinion on the Four Winns color scheme of yellows for the last 3 model years? I owned a 2007 FW H210 in Bright Yellow and I absolutely loved that color. I traded in last year for a 2008 FW H220, but this time I went with the True Red, which I like a lot also. I just wasn't a big fan of the Summer Yellow that they went with last year, even though my preference is to have a yellow boat. This year I see that Four Winns went with Pastel Yellow, of which I have seen in person, and in my opinion it is even worse than last years Summer Yellow. Just curious as to what everybody's opinion is, if you have one at all. Do you think that they will ever go back to the Bright Yellow?

The yellow looks great,.........but,,,,,, my neighbor down the river has a H170 freedom in yellow. So as not to look like I'm keeping up with the Jones's I ordered My H180 in red .but the yellow would have been my next choice.

I love the bright yellow. Actually what I wanted, but came across a steal on my boat so I got the red. The new pastel yellow in my opinion is UGLY!

The new pastel yellow is in line with the current pastel colors for ocean boats .... yellows, blues, greens.

We plan on painting the 268V with either yellow or red as a color stripe (wife doesn't want to do the wide-band color theme ... just the upper stripe). If yellow, which it likely will be, it will be the Bright Yellow (Crownline also has had a very nice bright yellow).

I like the pastel colors on the big sport fishers, and the like, but they don't seem to look right on a small sport boat or pocket cruiser.

Yellow is a great color for boats, cars, and trucks.

The bright yellow yes, but the pastel yellow is not for me, IMHO
