Not for me, but I agree with Chris J's comments, you wont care what colour it is once your sailing it. I imagine they have assembled it from some slow moving stock. I would press for discount.

Rudi,

The ivory and blue looks like a Williams F1 BMW. Unless you are getting paid the endorsements for all the markings, I would push for a discount.

With such a professional looking AI guess blue and ivory is the fastest.

Time to get an AI, which boat would you choose:

2009 AI blue hulls, dune amas, upgraded at Hobie factory, 5400 $
2010 AI completely dune, upgraded by the local dealer, 5730 $

both boats with tramps and beachkart with double-tires and 2 years warranty

Please help me making a good decision

No, your words were right. :)

Maybe you can post a picture of it? Sounds interesting.

Thanks for the responses.

Hi, today I bought the blue and white one...in the end I did like the colours and that it was already at the dealers store - the all dune AI had to be ordered and built up by the dealer, too much time to wait for me.

Here is a link to a picture of the double wheels trolley:

I´m very happy to get the boat delivered in a few days :D

Thanks for the pic. Looks interesting.

I hope the tire rims are not just of steel if you are doing any salt water sailing. :)

Enjoy

Wow, that looks nice! It would almost be worth spending the extra money to buy the kayak and upgrade just to have this color.
