Hull color

[Champlain1]

Is the hull color on the RT awl grip or colorized gel coat?

Best of my knowledge they are all Gell coat unless they have been painted after the initial sale.

It would be awesome if it was Awl Grip ! It is gelcoat. I was told by a factory representative that the Gelcoat product that Fluid Motion is using now (last few years) is a better product than used in the past. The colored hulls demand a lot of attention. I had a blue hull 2016 Cutwater. I did a 3 step wax every spring, compound ,polish and waxed with a 50/50 protectant/carnauba wax. Mid season I would pull the boat out of the water and machine polish and wax the hull and top sides. After 6 years the hull looked new. I did see a 2016 C26 when in Marathon FL. Blue hull that was in desperate need of a Awl grip job. There was no way of bringing it back. The colored hulls look awesome! I will never own another colored gel coat hull. Too much work maintaining or to expensive to ceramic coats every two or there years. I would consider a colored painted hull. Just my opinion
