That's a matter of poor insulation. Not a problem with my steel hull with insulation. Fortunately, summers in SF Bay Area aren't so severe as s/se usa.
Don't think I quite agree.
I'm with RGano on this one. Dark colors absorb light (and heat), light or white does not nearly as much. That is simply physics. I had a friend with a boat with a sizable navy blue stripe. He claimed he could run his hand on the inside of the hull and feel where the blue stripe was by the heat change.
Dark hulls are more popular in colder climates. The sun is hell on the colored hulls in warmer climates, where they tend to fade quickly.
