Been lurking around here for a while since I bought a 2000 Shabah 202. Hoping to get some help. I'm ordering a swim platform and need to know the base gelcoat color to match it up. I've looked at the 2000 Mariah brochure and it looks like the base gelcoat only came in 2 colors, Arctic White and Ivory. Below are some pics of my boat. I'm thinking it's Ivory and my wife says Arctic White, we are at an impasse. Anybody have any thoughts?

Thanks ROY850, I looked at a lot of posts on gelcoats but missed this one. The samples were helpful. Based on my pictures, I'm still thinking it is Ivory. Mine has a much darker tint than the pics on the post.

The picture of the front of the boat could pass as Arctic white, but all the other photos from a distance has a pigment of an off white, so ivory would look good but again depends what they mean by ivory on the platform.

I just ordered a swim platform from Swim Platform Super Store . I sent them several pictures of my boat and they then sent me several color samples for me to match to my boat. One of the samples was a perfect match and they are now build a platform of that color. Waiting impatiently for the finished product, should be another 6 weeks or so.

I've been sending them pics as well and their paint guy thought it was Arctic White, so I'm going with that. To be honest, not too concerned with it. Was thinking about putting Navy Sea Deck on the platform anyways. Also trying to avoid having them send paint samples so it doesn't hold up the process. Just ordered it this week and was told 4 1/2 to 5 weeks to ship. The sooner the better, boating season in GA is here. Was told one of the lakes around us was already at 79 degrees, wahoo!

I ended up going with Swimplatforms.com. They ended up only 50 more than swimplatformsuperstore, but their deck was 83" long compared to the 70" wedge they quoted me. Thought that extra foot would be nice.
