Just wondering if one of our manufacturers would have any reason to consider purple plastic? :D

I am not sure that women go for purple boats.

I have been paddling one for years, and I have not yet gotten lucky.

If Jeremy had made a purple Ion, I might have held off on the blue one!! Love purple, but of course Wendy you know that.

It depends on the purple. I am fond of the Mohawk/esquif Zoom purple.

Though if I could have any color... it would be some kind of mix. The new Pyranha color "Wham" is amazing!

Depends on the purple. Mohawk purple- yes. Zoom- yes. The above l'edge? Heck NO!

Wendy doesn't need another custom color boat..... :D
Yes, the purple ocoees were nice too.

Of course I need a purple boat. A light layup in purple would be just the ticket. This pole is for everyone. I put it up because someone said purple was only for women so no one would make purple. Obviously, it ain't so. 8)

+1 for Bob and TNbound. My wife and I each have purple Mohawk Probe 11's, but I go with either red or yellow airbags while she uses either purple or teal.

It's all relative, though. If I was flat broke with no canoe and someone offered me a pink boat from whatever manufacturer I'd have to say, "Game on!".
