TotalBoat Topside White for c.1973 Hull

Postby brentcain » Mon Mar 09, 2020 3:44 pm

I am in the process of restoring a 1973 13-footer and finally got the interior primed. Flipped it over and now started on the hull. I'm planning on using TotalBoat Topside paint.

What TotalBoat Topside Paint would best match the original Boston Whaler hull color from 1973?

TotalBoat has four hues: Blue-Glo White, Oyster White, White, and Flat White.

Interlux White

With Interlux the regular White is what I use and I find it very close to the original color [but for a 1963 hull—jimh].

A 1973 hull would be Desert Tan. From your limited color palette of four hues, an Oyster White is probably closest to the original color.
