Message body

[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=k2sno070]Good evening gentlemen,

I have an 84 hobie 16 that currently has blue hulls.  Overall the color has faded pretty bad as the boat hasn't been used in over 10 years, however, the hulls are still in great shape aside from some scratches and scrapes here and there from mooring.  There are no soft spots and the keels are still true to form.  The problem I am having though is that I absolutely hate the color.  I'm not sure why but an all white 16 is just a sexy catamaran and I would like to completely change the color if possible. [/quote]

Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder as they say. My opinion is that it's a waste of money and effort to paint/gelcoat a beachcat that's in good shape just to change the color.

That isn't to say you shouldn't change the color, that's your choice, but here's the cheapest and easiest way to change your boat from blue to white.

Sell your blue boat and buy a white one!  8-)

The faded chaulky blue gelcoat can be brought back to a deep beautiful color and shine either with a lot of elbow grease sanding and polishing or with a $65 Poliglow kit, it will sell in a minute with shiny blue hulls (or you may like it after the transformation).

Then go here.
