    Boat flake id?

    I have a scratch in side of my boat in the blue color and am trying to order flake to have the scratch repaired before spring. Can any Champ owners identify the flake I would need? The boat is a 2005 188 Elite.

    Thanks, Grupp

    Pinned above is a thread about gel and flake suppliers. Perhaps contacting one with your color sample might help. Also, First owner should have received the build sheet with the info...if you know who that was.

    I am the 3rd owner and do not have the original build paperwork. I did call Mini-craft and Poly craft and did not have any success. I contacted the salesman at Boaters marine and his records go back to 2009. He believes the color was called "blueberry" but was not 100 percent sure. Poly craft said if they know the name they would be all set. Does anyone know if this is Blueberry or have another color idea?

    Thanks,

    Grupp

    I believe I found it on Great Lakes skipper. Black blue / jade.

    You might contact Fishing Holdings parts and see if they have the build sheet for it. Jason Bragg was able to get my poly info for me a few years back. My base colors have a lot of Alpha in them. I have an 07

    Ditto on checking the pinned info as Champion used two suppliers for coatings. If all else fails, get ahold of CO.
