Also hate the roller gelcoating part - the first layers always look like crap, in contrast to auto paints spraying with compressor/hvlp, where the results look near pefect right from the start. And to get the desired quality you have to sand a lot. But the good part about the floor is that ypu can always cover it back with carpet or fake teak.

Very true, want to start messing around with paint sprayers to see if that can help make this alittle easier. Curious how the gelcoat will spray though since it’s such a thick consistency.

@@brianbluemkejr I sprayed mine no problem, using 1.4mm HVLP with filter removed. Leave the can in the sun or preheat in the bucket with hot water, than thin the gelcoat with styrene and wax solution up to 10% and it will be fine.

@@brianbluemkejr cant insert pictures here, but the results with spraying are much better than with the roller, particulary orange peel is almost gone.

What did you do to get that forward part of the floor complete ? Mine is all rotted out.

Rip out everything that's soft and then start from scratch. better to get it all out the first time then having to redo it again at a later date. Check out some of my earlier videos of the Bayliner too. I had to remove a good bit of floor there too.
