I recently purchased my third h16 here in SW FL. The hulls had been repaired on the bottom but never faired or re-coated. The rest of the hull is totally dull and brown too. I am considering a paint job or new gel coat. I have a pneumatic sprayer and a garage to paint the hulls in. Has anyone ever done this and what were their results. I know that something is going to have to be done as there is some glass work to be done around the rudder mounts as well. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Also has anyone ever heard of a CO2 fired anti turtle device? With the waves being such here sometimes you don't have control of that down ward spriral of the mast.
