Hello there,
I have a 14 foot fiberglass boat that needs some repair, i was looking at it and thought " that's a really thick finish?" I was wondering if that is gelcoat?

Re: Fiberglass hull question

So, since it's gelcoat, would I just be able to sand the keel down to the glass nice and smooth? I planning on painting the whole boat and most of the cracks and gouges are in the gelcoat...except for two cracks I put in the fiberglass when I was putting the new floor in i think? one on each side.

So far I've replaced the transom, stringers, keel board and floor. I've fixed all manner of vehicle, but for some reason when water is involved I'm never sure of my abilities?
