I am refurbishing a 1995 Montauk 17.
It is tan.
I need to order some King Starboard and i can't tell if Seafoam or Fish White is the best color.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Harvey

I have heard many refer to Seafoam. Fish White is a new one.

Harvey,
I restored a friends 22 Outrage and we used Sanshade to replace the wooden rod holders. It was not a perfect color match to the gelcoat but it was a lot better than white or black. I replaced the back plate on my 1998 montauk which is white and the white Starboard is a true white.

Harvey,
I held up 3 different colors of Starboard next to my hull. I cast another vote fore Sandshade.

I received samples from Boatoutfitters and they didn't have Sandshade
I don't see it on their website
They had 2 whites, 2 grays, black, Seafoam and Fishwhite
I'll ask if Sandshade is available.
I'm going to have them make blocks to raise the seat, bow hatch cover and a tray for the top of the center console.
Thanks
Harvey

TAP Plastics in Santa Rosa CA has it on their shelves. I did my color comparison at a boat/electronics shop and they had a piece leftover from a large special order. Not a commonly carried color from some of the shops. Well worth the investigation for the color. If you are stuck and give me dimensions I could see what the TAP can do. If all else fails I could facilitate sending.

Harvey, working with starboard is easier than wood. It edges and cuts beautifully. You just need a large/huge tarp under the work area. The mess is amazing. Wood is biodegradable, the by product of cutting gets everywhere. Almost as messy as aluminum.
