Thanks Guys.
Ya, I'm thinking Tom should feel a little difference.
A little less drag and no transom flex.

that's looks like its never been touched, extremely good work.
what did you do to get it like this ?
I have never used gelcoat on the outside of anything, only ever in a mold with a brush.
this looks amazing, did it take a lot of rubbing down to get this finish ?

definitely a perfect job, wish you lived next door to me ha ha

Rubbish Down, I lov it.
Just like you guys have the boot and bonnet I will forever consider sanding gel now as Rubbish Down. 8-)
If you have an automotive type sprayer with big tips, 2 or more then you can spray with gel thinned down.
I have a High Viscosity sprayer that will spray straight up or I can thin it down.
The hull I sprayed straight up which required a lot more to rubbish down then if you thin it down.
The motor well I thinned with additive making the rubbish down easier and blends into the existing gel better.
