So when I think that your are 2 tons heavier and that I have new 440s I hate much less... 
Now more seriously
After long search I believe the Pale green is Epifanes yacht enamel #48 and the dark green for the line on the hull is Epifanes Yacht enamel #72.
good luck

Well, after having 2 Marinettes (aluminum), I do not think I would go that route again. Much easier to take care of, and repair a steel hull then it is for aluminum. The painting process of a steel hull is very simple. Aluminum is a 4 step process, and all has to be accomplished in a certain time-frame for it all to be perfect. Steel is just a sand-prime-paint ordeal. Aluminum is a b---h!
I did like the lightness when it came to fuel ecomony though. Rougher weather was tough, but they were also fly-bridge models. I like the idea of the heavier steel hull right now. Of course I have not had it out yet as I am awaiting the new distributors, but have talked with the guy who put it all together in Ohio. With the new motors, trannys and props, it will top 31mph and cruise at 22mph. Not to shabby. According to him, when it had the 283's, it would top out at 22mph.
