Got the boat flipped, all bottom paint removed, fixed some gouges and blisters, applied 3 coats of a penetrating epoxy resin to seal the gelcoat and applied 4 additional layers of biaxial to the bow area where some heavy knicks were located. Then applied 4 coats of Interlux 2000e. That is where she is now and as seen in the photos.
Later this week I will lightly sand and apply 2 coats of Awlgrip 545 primer and ready her for a topcoat spraying this weekend.
This after many, many sanding/fairing applications using a DA sander and 2 different longboards (I hate to see a "finished" boat and there are "waves" through the hull from being unproperly finished).
