Larry, The "buff white" I used was *not* an exact match for my 1987 M17. However, when the local fiberglass shop filled in my fishfinder/speedo holes they matched the gelcoat exactly and I came away a very happy sailor, albeit with a lighter wallet. I never could have gotten as good a match myself.
