Hello all,

last night I finally got the old Glasspar Avalon home. It's one my
family has had in Idaho since the late 50's. It's a little worn, but
floats and has a working motor.

My question is, is it easy to re-gell coat a boat?

Unless you have a heated, dust free barn, replacing the gel-coat isn't
very easy. Even with the proper equipment and heat, it's not a lot of
fun - you need downdraft paint booths, etc.

However, there are several products on the market that will give you
as good, if not better, paint job. Awlgrip is probably the way you
want to go.

thanks, I think that's probably what I'll do if I do it (paint it I
mean). I have some fiberglass repairing i need to do, but that won't be
for a while. I think..
