Thanks for all the great suggestions Blue. I am not sure why it never occurred to me to put my resin in the fridge before a job. I will definitely have to try that.
Rusty, Will is in Lafayette and I live south of Lafayette so we might have to get together some time. As far as the Coosa goes, it has been several years since I bought it so the prices may have changed, but it is still better than paying freight. I think they sell everything needed for boat building, but I have not purchased anything except the Bluewater 26 for the transom and some Bluewater 20 for the deck. They are on River Road close to the old Huey P Long bridge In Harahan. I just dug up an old product list and the name is Advanced Plastics. They apparently have locations in multiple states and a web site with a catalog if you want to google it.
Your boat isn't red is it? I know there was a red 23 Sceptre in Maurice for a while, but I cannot remember what kind of engine it had on it. I have not seen very many 23's around here except the one my cousin had with the shrimp trawling setup on it.
