Thanks for the response, I received email from Don earlier in the week. He said he only does small repairs and most people paint and not gelcoat bottoms.
Thanks
Chris

You could p/m or call me 954 232 2127, we could talk about it, it is definitly not the cheapest way to go, I'm in Ft Lauderdale.

Have you done much large gel coat jobs?
I have another boat that suffered from blisters and would like to find some one capable for redoing it. it is basicly from the waterline down and it is white gelcoat at least. PM me if so

No I have not done much just small chips when not binglazy or working...
got half the bottom sanded today what a job in the heat sun up to sun down..Took my time tried to do a good job.
Usually just fish the boat.. You mentioned that most just awlgrip the bottom.. I talked to a bunch of commerecial buddies of mine 99 percent said the same.. I just cant see ding that to this hull.. I have been through hell and back in this one.. Literally especially off boynton day and night. Im on the water about thirty or more hours a week.
But more than likely im gonna go against the grain and Gelcoat..
Thanks for all your help Caymen much appreciated Ill shoot some pics in a week or two and try to post...
Thanks once again Chris.
