Hi Tom,
Years ago when I was a Hobie Cat sailor, I used to "refresh" the bottoms of
my hulls each spring with a couple of coats of gel coat. At first I went to
great effort to fill the gouges, smooth it out and make it perfect. I got
over this in a hurry as it would begin to wear off each time I beached the
boat. The most painless approach was to simply brush a couple of coats
along the affected bottom edges. This provided a sacrificial coating which
was easy to renew.
I haven't heard from you in a while. Do you get to the Dallas area anymore?
Best regards,
