I put together a whole bunch of little bits of information from articles and videos from Augie Carton and Jesse Ferguson from Carton. Augie also gave me some advice on Untappd on the hops used and when.

I transfer to corny keg for dry hopping.
Dry Hop 1 - Days 1-4
1oz Citra
.5oz Amarillo
Dry Hop 2 - Days 5-8(Leave 1st dry hop batch in, add 2nd dry hop batch in, purge with CO2)
1oz Citra
.5oz Amarillo
Finings
1T gelatin in cool water, allowed to bloom for 30 minutes, hit with 15sec increments in microwave until felt it was dissolved. Added gelatin to keg, purged with CO2, shook up to mix in gelatin. Cold crashed for 3 days, then stored in basement @67° for 2 weeks.
The color is dead on. It cleared pretty well with the gelatin, but when I make this again, I think I'll only cold crash and not use gelatin. Taste and color wise, I think it's pretty close, but Boat has a bit more depth, aroma and that Citra zing on the back of your tongue, so I would probably add yet another ounce of Citra in the dry-hop.
In the pic, the clone is on the left and Boat is on the right
