1958 Sportsman "Green Apple" Linoleum

The Deluxe Sportsman had as an option the Green Apple linoleum along with Mahogany ceiling panels.
I have the original build (styling) sheet and hull card for my hull number cc-3949. It came with both.
The painted floor was usually the standard model.

1958 Sportsman "Green Apple" Linoleum

I am trying to come as close as possible in floor color to the original.
The styling specifications sheet indicate it was Green Apple Linoleum. Does anyone have a sample or image of what the original looked like?
A digital photo would work great.

Transom Name Lettering Vinyl vs Painting

Has anyone had experiance with using vinyl lettering.
How does this compare with other methods of applying names.

It is less expensive but is it more durable?

Can varnish be applied over the vinyl?

I have seen some nice metalic gold letter vinyl.

Fifty plus years ago did transoms have names?
