Wrinkle,

The great thing about painting is that once the season is over, simply do a touchup. My restoration project included conversing with the old guys of California, in
which gelcoating was not use at all. It was bondo and paint, during the heyday, and it's those fixup's which i am employing. If I could assist in any way please email at Reidqa@hotmail.com

The forums seem to have forgot the old days in which the Hobie was meant for fun, relaxation and enjoyment, not as a upscale constant competition vessel. Our boats while number is dwindling is memories of days gone by.

I have attached pic of surfergirl upon purchase.
