I really like the green of my 2000 Maxum 1900SC. I don't see this color used as much, I know Maxum closed its doors about a decade ago, though Green seems like a good classic that isn't overdone like blue. Granted I admit I may have gone overboard by buying matching bimini, fenders, throwable cusion, 2x towels, and key float. :)

It is easier to find accesories than actual new boats these days.

new boats are stalled due to things like resin, engines, upholstery, and fittings

however forest green went out a few years back. black, grey, red, blue, etc sell

Yeah I understand the shortages, took me 7 months to get my F-150 I ordered. Although I was speaking about style over the past decade or two. I am looking at getting a dark blue boat, though dark boats seem to show oxidation easier.

There are a half dozen colors that are always available.
People always flock to something different, then 5 years later that color is out and something new takes its place.

forest green will be back in vogue in 15 years.
Same with cars.
Look at all the orange and yellow cars available today, they will be gone in 5 years, then back again 20 years later.
