The bottom of mine has never been painted or cleared, only waxed, sorry MJ! Bill Mc

Yeah, yeah...Rub it in.

Hammer,

My thought is, if your repair is done right with gelcoat, you shouldn't need any paint/sealer on the bottom. There was a company out there online that's been mentioned on this site before that matches factory gelcoat colors...........Spectrum, Spectra.....something like that.

I think the company that matches gelcoat is minicraft if I'm not mistaken

Thanks for the Minicraft info. I just shot an email to the company with my hull number. Hopefully they have the correct color.

FYI, I rebuilt a 13 foot Boston Whaler about 11 years ago. The outside I sprayed with Awlgrip the inside with gelcoat, today the Awlgrip looks as good as the day it was painted the gelcoat not so good (hairline cracks, flaking etc..

I used Minicraft on my 92 whaler. Don't expect a perfect color match. Good product but I doubt your boat is the same color it was when new. Minicraft will probably even tell you that, they did with me. I bought some brown pigment to add to the Minicraft and got it closer.
