The lips didnt have any knees or structure/support in the back half so it got cored. This one has the bulkheads, console and shelf all giving some structure/support. The deck being so high too really helps. Went back and forth on a shelf on stbd side too but just decided the juice wasnt worth the squeeze.

100% Sandy! U can get the primer sanded out to what u think is perfection, hose it off, looks flawless, then when paint goes on u see all kinds of flaws. Redid the hullsides in awlcraft but theyre good enough, not gonna bother buffing.
Boats all painted now, minus nonskid which im doing today. Inside has a few runs and some peel but it aint a yacht!
