I, on the other hand, have been dissapointed with the HydroTurf.......feels great, cleans up o.k. so long as it's only dirt (petroleum based stains are very hard to remove)........but I bought the tan and after only 1 season mine has turned to a light grey. The only portion still tan is the part up under teh console that rarely gets any sunlight. My boat is stored in a dry stack with a cover on it so it does not get continuous exposure to the elements. When contacted and questioned about this, HydroTurf responded that fading is normal and if scrubbed briskly with light grade sand paper the original hue would return. Don't think I'm gonna mess with that.
