I believe this would be my color as well. Any details I'm missing out on here?


None. PM me your address and I'll ship it out tomorrow to you. 230 Mike and Flying Sushi just came to mind as having newer, blue boats.

I've got the write color on it now. http://www.minicraft.com was able to mix me up a pint of the exact color I needed. Way more than I needed, but oh well. I don't have any before pics, the scratches were all hard to see unless you were right up on it.

After a few years of use, sometimes the original color gel is not an exact match, yours must not have faded at all, that's good. Or did they mix up a special blend to match your current color exactly? I may need to get some of that gel someday, and I am curious on how they matched the original to the current. White hulls are a bit easier to match, and dark hulls are a tad bit more involved to get a perfect color match. Love to see how minicraft worked on your hull color.
Post some pics of your work please.

I'll get some pics as soon as the sanding is done. I put it on today, and the color match was amazing. Much better than the green on my 225 Sundowner w/ the Spectrum kit. I will tell you both Spectrum kits, for my 225, and this incorrect blue, was a thicker paste type consistancy vs. this Minicraft. Minicraft does tell you to use it within 90 days though. It went on extremely well. Cost me $144 including shipping for a pint sized kit, matched to the original gel.

This boat was in a boat house for its first 3 years, then rack stored at a marina unused for 2.

Yes. Haven't had the boat home in a while. Hopefully I can get my punch list all finished off today and tomorrow so I just have to wax.
