What is the color of the blue stripe on the housetop?

Bones VIII (47/049) is out for surgery.

What is the color & brand for the blue housetop stripe and cove stripes?

Thank you,

John Green

Dear John,

original gelcoat was Norpol 707, but that company does not exhist anymore.

If you have the traditional light blue, matching (gelcoat) colour is Reichold 700; if you want to paint the stripes/booth top, matching AwlGrip is  is Marlin Blue:

Please keep me posted on the surgery you are undertaking!

All best,

matteo

Thank you Matteo.

The yard first said the transmission could not be rebuilt and they could not find a replacement other than new (~$17,000 USD).

I have a dear friend in the marine business that has been rebuilding Velvet Drive transmissions for 50 years. He said in his time he has only come across 2 that could not be rebuilt.

Mine, thankfully, can be rebuilt. In fact, he will have it done in a week for a reasonable cost.

Hooray!

Best to all and thank you in the community for your combined expertise.

John
