Blue Hulls
Paulk
I think you''ve missed what Hatteras does - when they paint the hulls and deck, they are painting over gelcoat! The entire, exensive painting process they describe is incremental and additional to what many builders do. They could add pigment to the gelcoat formula for probably less than $100 and deliver a colored hull - instead they likely spend $100-200/foot to paint the gelcoat.
IMHO givenr the years of universally faded colored hulls, builders who still deliver boats with dark pigmented hulls are a class action suit waiting to happen.
As the prior owner of an Awgripped boat, I''d take a painted white hull in a second, and its the only way to go for a colored hull.
