Author	Topic:   awlgrip on 85 montauk
dchapp	posted 11-28-2001 04:43 PM ET (US)         Getting ready to have my 1985 Montauk Awlgripped both inside and out. As I was reviewing the color options the dark blue peaked my interest. I have always liked the look of a dark hulled boat and just wanted other opinions of painting a classic Whaler dark blue with a red boot stripe. Inside of boat will still be off-white. I am just consdering this and would appreciate some feedback.

I have seen a lot of big sport fishing boats with hulls painted this color lately. The interior had not been painted. The only thing I have heard about dark colors, such as the flag blue you are talking about, is that they do not hold up all that well in hotter climates. Dan
