Gel Coat and Colors

Jones Brothers uses the highest quality marine gel coat available on the market today. The product has:

• enough flexibility to resist cracking
• reduced fade and chalking characteristics
• contains advanced UV inhibitors
• resistance to porosity
• excellent patchability and buffback qualities
• environmentally friendly

The factory environment is also important to the gel coat application. The gel coat is stored in a temperature controlled room, and the floor, molds, gel coat and ambient air temperature are stabilized during the construction process.

While a quality gel coat and modern factory help, it takes a talented person to properly apply the gel coat for a consistent thickness and the high quality finish expected in a Jones Brothers boat. When done right, the customer gets a boat that looks great for years.

Jones Brothers has the following list of color options. Standard White is the default no-cost color used by Jones Brothers and is by far our most popular color. The remaining selections are popular stock colors available from our vendor. These custom colors have an up-charge fee based on the model. The lead time for one of these popular colors is approximately two weeks. There are other colors available from the gel coat manufacturer that are requested on a fairly regular basis: black, base white, fire engine red, vivid red, and multiple shades of gray. These colors often have an additional up-charge, and can take considerably longer to obtain from the vendor. Please contact your local dealer or the Jones Brothers factory to discuss custom color options.

For regular washing, dish detergent and fresh water can be used to wash your boat. About once a year, apply a quality marine wax or polish containing Teflon. If possible, store your boat out of the sun and/or use a boat cover. Keep leaves and other debris from collecting in the boat. Rust stains and discoloration can often be removed using Star brite Rust Stain Remover.
