Yep, they were...my M17 #38 1974 appears to have had the original "tangerine" gel coat color (my best guess as to name of the color, Jerry feel free to correct that!). It was painted over at some point with more of a deep red, but there are some small wear spots where the "tangerine" shows through, and also where the bottom paint is flaking it is visible, and when I was repairing the CB stop pin area I exposed the original color. So some you see may have been painted, but definitely some were color gelcoat. cheers, John S. On 11/07/2017 09:45 AM, AM Middleriverstudio wrote:
Does anyone know if any M boats were manufactured with colored gel coat? I've seen a green hull, and was curious if that was factory or painted.
