    Does anyone know what color green i need for my boat?

    I didn't see anything stating that. Website and catalog had same price but when I called I thought it was rediculus. Who knows. I'll get something better for cheaper.

But when I spoke with tracker they asked if I was original buyer. I said...

    Does anyone know what color green i need for my boat?

    I bought that color green in a spray can that the website says. I tested it out and wasn't even close to the color of the boat. I bought a few others too but none are really a good match. The parkers hunter green looks too dark but the others look way too light. But that's just what it looks...

    So, im new on here....thinking about my first boat
