If anyone is interested- here are some progress pics. I used west system with some of the west white pigment. I initially screwed up and used the wrong filler (looks purple) and that made it difficult to cover up that color with the subsequent coats of epoxy. It needs one more sanding and maybe one last thin coat but I think it turned out well - not professional per se but you can't really tell unless you know exactly where/what you are looking for. Of course, since I was at it I looked under the hulls and SURPRISE.. a bunch of hack marks which I also quickly touched up and also built up the port centerboard (which always seems to be the one that you think is up but really isn't when heading to the beach)
