Here is a picture of a 1965 Thompson inboard. Note the color of transom and trim...It's a light shade... Not red . not dark brown.... It's a light maple color... I wonder why Thompson boats made this change. URL=http://imageshack.us] http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/3271/65thominboardstearnit6.jpg...

The pink color was a very light pink. lighter than the swatch of 26 pink. Next time I am at my parents I will find the photo album and post some pictures here.

That would be cool to find another 57 Seafairer and paint it that color.
