I have no experience with it (yet), but I just got off the phone with a Duratec dealer. I was looking for a polyester gel coat to epoxy primer, and they suggested their vinylester primer which is good for below waterline use. I ordered some, but haven't used it yet- P/N1794-006. It was just under $100/gallon. Josh at Express Composites was a big help there. Suggested spraying with a 2.3mm or bigger tip gun, or a pressure pot gun, in case that helps.
If you do strip the gel coat, then this stuff might be a good layer between the hull and new gel coat or paint? I have had the polyester based primer surfacer suggested here, but after what I heard today, maybe this is a good use for the vinylester?
