So I noticed that Spectrum color stopped carrying all whaler colors of gelcoat so now I am trying to find a new company who sells whaler colors. Looking for original desert tan for 70s whaler
Thanks
Archie

Looks like most Boston Whaler colors as stock items. If you need an item such as Outrage grey, you will have to mix it yourself, as they never did get that one right.

I would strongly recommend a manufacturer in MA recommended here by "Weatherly", who evidently used to supply Whaler's gelcoat.
ADVANCE COATINGS COMPANY
Westminster MA
978-874-5921
Their pricing is very reasonable. I just had them do a custom mix for me for the 1971 Ribside Outrage 21 (since no standard color exists) and the total cost, including shipping for 4 qts was $161. I believe this is the smallest quantity they sell (at least for a custom match), but you might call and check.
They also have a website. I dealt with Russell, who I believe is the owner.
The pricing is so good, that if one has to buy 4 qts, it should be easy to re-sell to others here, or do a group buy ahead of time.

I used Spectrum desert tan for a couple small repairs on my 1988 Montauk and it worked great and matched very nice considering the age of the boat.

Larry, if you can spare one or more of the quarts you bought for your Ribside, please let me know. I can use it in the restoration of my '72 Ribside.
