Petitt mist green paint

Hello,
I have not used this site in a long time. I am going to restore my 1955 Thompson Seaskiff Special for the second time and want to paint the hull different than white. Is the green paint in 1957 called Mist Green? If so where can I get some form my hull? Thanks for any help! Pete

Spray rail color?

The spray rails on my 1955 Sea Skiff special, were they originally painted red? when sanding I did get to a layer of red. In the Thompson CD the 1954 catalogue cover shot show's a Sea Skiff which is a dead ringer for my boat, it looks like it could be red or browm? Thanks for any help. Pete

Hello your motor can not be a 1956 because they were a 30 hp that year only. my 30 hp Big Twin Electric does start off a 12 volt but 6 volt is correct that year.

Hello Andreas,
I have found the ID # 012426 it was upside down and on a inner verticle board, drivers side, closer to the middle. So this confirms the year 1960? what else do the other #'s tell you?
Thanks Pete

16' Cruisers Inc. Seafarer

Pictures are extremely important in the process to ID the boat. There are NO build records to check. You must also bear in mind that the boats were changed almost annually in size and details.
