Blue Hulls

Can''t argue with a lot of the info.

One thing I think most people might not notice and wasn''t mentioned is that a dark blue hull is much easier to see in the fog over a white hull. When you''re out sometime in the fog, take a look around and you''ll notice it.....its pretty obvious. One old timer told me that''s originally why most of the Maine boat builders had those nice blue hulls..


Personally I think a dark blue hull looks very nice!! But I''m not sure I''d want to maintain one over the years....same thing with a teak deck. Plus I think its much easier to to fix a gel coat scratch than a dark painted hull scratch.
