Who builds the Hull on our boats?
« on: December 05, 2014, 07:03:35 am »
Mine is a 99 Epic 22, in the forest green color.

Our trip to Powell this past summer resulted in a little damage to the outside of the boat, so we're trying to find the paint code for the color. I've been told that if we can find out who made the hull, it shouldn't be a problem.

Also, I thought I read here somewhere that the exterior color is completely thru, and not just on the surface. Is this true, or am I up in the night on this one?

Any help is much appreciated; thanks.

P.S. Still loving the epic!! Even though she's getting old, it's still running like a top.

A good fibreglass shop should be able to easily colour match your hull. It would be fairly difficult to buy an off the shelf product and have it perfectly match. Due to sun and other elements that our boats are exposed to, gelcoat colour slightly changes overtime.

Are you sure it's colored jelcoat all the way through?

It seems I heard that before on this site, but I wasn't sure.

I'm out of Utah, and my brother in law does it.

Thanks for the reply.
