Do you think this was a factory blue?

I don't think it is original gel, unless it was special ordered.

I saw this boat on the water toward the end of last season. I knew at that point it was for sale, but haven't seen it up close.

The blue looks like the color on my 72, and the dock rash doesn't look like scratched paint.

Maddad - Regarding special order colors, your boat was special ordered in those colors by the Ford family and delivered to their home in Grosse Point, MI. It is the colors of some football team the liked and/or owned.

I'd heard that before. The name "SeaLion" becomes visible if I let the sides get to faded. I also found some Michigan regi stickers when I pulled the 1/2" stack of them off a few years ago.

Looked at this boat about a month ago and I thought it was rough. Gelcoat near transom gouged and gunnel has 6 inch crack just forward of cockpit. Motor was supposed to be sound. Needs glass work and interior. Would make nice project for the right price.
