[Alberg30] Hull color

[Mike Lehman]

Often the staining you refer to is micro-organisms that penetrate the gel 
coat, which if it has never been painted is quite porous. When these 
micro-organisms die they turn brown. Painting the hull will seal the pores 
and prvent them from attaching to the hull, regardless of the color you 
choose. I like dark hull boats too, but mine have always been white. I am 
sure someone else has comments on the color/temperature effect.

First of all, I'd like to introduce myself and my new purchase.  I'm
Patty Johnson from the Mobile Bay area in Alabama. I don't own a gun,
lol, but I do own an Alberg 30 that I bought in Jan 2003.  Now, about
the darker hull colors I've been seeing, like on "This Old Boat", I was
wondering how that affects the temperature of the interior of the boat.
Does it make it significantly hotter down below or not enough to notice.
Asking this because I would love to paint my hull navy.  It's a drab off
white and gets stained easily from the bay waters.

I would also like to say how much faster and all around better a boat
the Alberg 30 is compared to my Catalina 27.  I race and win now!
