I really appreciate all the detailed advice! I ended up rolling poly gel and have started the sanding process. Burned through a couple spots on the transom repairs. Thought I had it faired good enough but guess I didnt. Nothing more gelcoat won't fix. I rolled 4 layers non waxed and the final layer waxed. Sanded the bulk off the orange peel with 40 grit hand sanded all the edges with 60 grit, and am in the middle of sanding with 80 now. The plan is 40g 80g 120g 180g 240g 400g 800g heavy duty compound and then some polishing. That first round with 40 was a bear but now it's going much easier.
