Cerulern Blue vinyl

Post by seabuddy » Sat Dec 26, 2015 9:23 pm

A hull card indicates that this was actually made at least one boat. Maybe more than one boat?

Was it a special order as the hull card calls it out with a special note.

Did it come from Chris Craft supplying Riva with engines?

Is it nicknamed "the Riva interior color" offering by members of the club?

Cerulean Blue came in quite a few boats in the mid-1950s. What is your hull number? Yes, it was a special order item.

Has nothing to do with Riva, but is similar to the turquoise they used.

Paul Cundiff/Woodies Restorations in Kentucky sells it by the yard and is the only supplier.

Mellohide Marine is about $15 yd and less when you go over 10 yds. Order a sample from A1 foam & upholstery or similar. Sky Blue looks pretty close. Heidi is another brand that has samples available.
