Is it just an optical illusion or is that yellow trim line not straight at the front of the boat?

It's certainly a nice color scheme though.

It does not appear to be straight.

The old one certainly looks like it's paint job is to mesh with the Swolphin, with it's teal and salmon colors and checkered fringes of beach cabanas.

It's also Florida, I wonder if they serviced the AC units to deal with the darker color scheme?

They did not work any more with the lighter color scheme. I think the AC units need to be replaced not serviced

looks like changes have extended to other vessels in their fleet. The brown has a wood stain look to it.
