Now that I'm looking at your picture on a larger screen, how did you get the gelcoat to look so good? My body had huge ugly ridges at all the mold likes. Yours looks smooth with no mold lines anywhere.

So here is how I did It. I started following a guy on youtube called boatworks today. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0k...zdqFUk3oTaHBuA he has a good section on repairing gelcoat. I am in CT and close to Ma. there is a fiber glass shop up in the springfield area that sells fiberglass and gel coat products Mertons http://www.mertons.com I called him and after talking to him I find out that he is making repairs kits for FFR gelcoat Red. I apply what I learned from boatworks today with the gelcoats from mertons. and I got a Ok finish. The color is a slight shade different than the body and I still can see scratches. I will go to paint in a few years but for now I really like not worrying about the paint
