I voted green, specifically lime green.

Mixed colour's should be banned, my Prelude (Turquoise and Purple) is ugly but worse yet, my CU-Fly (Red, White and Blue) is so ugly it hurts my eyes.

I've always thought free - was the best color!

Sounds like the Britt doesn't like the patriotic American colors of red, white, and blue. That's very un-neighborly of you govna.

It was originaly intended to be a Dutch tricolour, but the intended buyer backed out, and when I orderd mine Robson gave me the choice of one in a colour of my choosing in 3 months, or that one in a weeks time... In any case, you have to see it to believe how ugly the poor sod is.

(N.B. Great Britain, France, The Netherlands, The USA, Australia and New Zealand all have red, white and blue flags)

wavesport had a multitude of tricolored boats in the late 80's and 90's. Many were red, whate, and blue. This scheme showed up on most of their models Godzillas, X, XXX, Y.

Wavesport is actually bringing back the Red, White, and Blue. Jacksons is also doing the multi-color thing with mixed results. Team Canada got boats for the World Championships that were supposed to be red on the ends and white in the middle. They came out being more like dark pink on the ends and light pink in the middle. The US boats were the same, only red white and blue. The UK and Ireland boats looked great though.

Well Jeremy... will the Blackfly be BLACK or WHAT???

Here I go and do all of the market research for you and you still aren't telling us???

It's on the facebook page. You are a fan aren't you? It's going to be MANGO* Reason being, there was a 5400lbs minimum order on "orange" plastic and if I was going buy one, I'd want orange. Mango was the closest we could get in a 900lb box. Actually, I think I like mango better than orange anyway based on the market research, it might not be the best color, but it is MY boat, so I get the color I want. The composite version will come in any color you want.

*No, that does NOT make it a Mangofly.

MangoFly

FruitFly

That's some funny $hit!!!

Oh well... back to stroking my "Banana"

I was going to say this before, but thought better of it. Now I have no choice.

The Fruitfly would only come in Rainbow.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
