I have a can of dark green gel coat Carl sold us for touch up. Never been opened. I believe it has a label on it with color called out. I will dig it out and post. Give me a few days. By the way, it still runs great! I have thousands of hours on it. I was a sophomore in high school when we bought it. A fellow named David barefoot skied behind it for us. I recall he was a Marine, and friend of Moesly family.

You need to post pics of this boat.........please

Is there a piece of trim or sticker you can pull off to possibly find an area not faded?

Matching old gel coat is hard to say the least. A lot of the older pre-1970 60's model hulls had that "minty green" gel coat used in them. My ol Moesly race hull has it in places. You really don't see it on the potter year hulls and there are not many of older Moesly hulls left out there. The ones that are left are faded badly. Like mentioned finding some spot under a sticker or badge may show better with out fading. Seems like green was popular back in them days. I remember some of the older shag carpet installed in that era was around the same color....

Hello again. I am down sizing from my 28 Uniflite sport sdn. My (old age and such) after finding no Seacraft WA I settled on a Chris craft 215 WA. I went back for now on my bow rider till the Chris is done and hope to sell the sedan. George.
