Has anyone ever inquired with the dealer about getting a pint of
matching gelcoat with the boat when you purchase it?  I moonlight
part-time for the local Wenonah/CD dealer.  I have done a lot of Wenonah
repairs and they have all of their boat colors available in repair pints
of gelcoat.  I'd think it would be easiest to get the color that matches
your hull (or deck) at the time of purchase.
