a pix might help

Or a better description:

I need to match the 'red' gelcoat on a 1964 Uniflite 15' runabout as seen here:

Because these are also all Uniflites:

Interesting note:
In 1965, the Navy awarded Uniflite with a contract to build 120 - 31' River Patrol Boats (PBR's). The PBR's were powered by twin Detroit 6V53's with water jets and they cruised between 25 and 31 knots. There were over 750 PBR's built and at the height of production two PBR's were rolling off the assembly line along with one 36' landing craft each day! In addition to the Navy contracts, in the 1960's and early 1970's Uniflite had numerous other military contract building 14' and 50' boats: patrol craft, landing craft and personnel boats.

Buy another boat? A Uniflite isn't listed in your sig line............

Welp .. Spectrum only covers a few colors ..

80-88 white 1800
88 beige 1802
88 blue 1801

Oh yea.. those colors are Gallons only ! Does not say Not Stock ..

After that you have to goto a color matching gelcoat guy ( probably 90 bucks an hour ).

Good luck.

Its possible that I dont understand the question then .. could you elaborate ?

There is no available out of the box color that is available. Even if it were you would not get a good match being an older vessel and all.
