Consider how you will use and dock the boat, the darker gel coats don't stand up to normal abuse very well. Scars and scratches from fenders and floating dock rub rails really show.
Take a walk thru a local marina, dealer or boat yard that has some used examples on the hard and you will see what I mean.
The majority of people who have commented in this thread that a blue hull is a non issue are all boats under 30 feet with the exception of a few. There is a vast difference in maintaining 30' of blue gelcoat vs. 50' and once a 480 is in the water for the season there really is no really good way of waxing the hull or buffing it out without getting swirls like crazy unless the boats on land. If a boat is in the sun 24/7 for 5 months of the year there is no wax on the market that will withstand that without touching it up.
And for every one you find, I can find just as many white hulls with big ugly back rub marks.
