Re: First Gelcoat Experiment
I have a 1974 11' and a 1977 17'. I've used this "offwhite" color to do what you are doing on the 11 and I did the entire outside of the bigger one as well. I'd slap gel on the entire stern, then start wet sanding. If the color is different, it won't show much due to the corner transitions...

Re: Downriggers on classic 15
I have rail mounts on my 11 and 17. They work well.

Re: 150 MONTAUK Hull Damage Repair
When [the production workers at Boston Whaler] wax the mold and shoot in the gelcoat, would the lay-up of the fiberglass and resin be done before the gel coat resin layer kicks off to ensure a chemical and physical bond?

Re: 15 Whaler Super Sport Project
