Patches with no texture and some with mountains. Looks like crap. He lied to me about the sanding prep and it will peal anyway down the road. It has been 5 days to kick off and it’s still sticky.

The color on the sides is so soft you can push a fingernail into it. It is also about 10 mils think. He sanded through in places and it alligatored in others. Once again no acetone wipe. He also diluted the gelcoat with a lot of styrene.

Project is ruined.
I was at international today and going to confirm a white 300 digital 30 inch with mike tomorrow. I only need battery switch and battterys and wiring won’t take to long. I don’t know what engine u ordered but if it’s the same maybe I could take your slot. When are u due to be there
