Really gorgeous stuff, a little "friendlier" to apply than Awlgrip, but I'm just an amateur.

Default Interested as well

Was going with alcraft then talked into awlgrip. Aside from price what are the benefits? Have had little experience with marine paint.

What I do know is the imron on the current sled is like hard as hell. Cant even touch it w/#60 on a da.

I was led to believe that awlgrip could not be touched up, like repair a scratch. However while at Hugh Saint's shop the head painter explained it is possible.

The exterior of the hull will be painted by a pro. Interior probably all gel. Taking Ken's advice make it a fishing boat not a trailer queen.
