Beginning in about 1992 or so, all boot stripes where gel coated into the molds with the exception of hull number 1 of each new model. Hull # 1 is floated once complete and properly balanced and then the boot line is marked and applied with paint. Then they use those measurements to apply the boot stripes to all future models.
Over the years, the dark colored boot stripes can fade to the point where you will have to paint over them in order to make them look good. For a more OEM job, you could have Gel Coat resprayed, but it will be more expensive than paint.
Good Luck.
