What brand of gel did you use? How hard to spray and any tips? Have a boat I hope to be starting soon and I have been reading till it hurts about gel and paint. Still undecided on which way I want to go.

We used Duratec gel coat. It's a ton of work but the nice thing about gel is you can really build it up. It's not terribly hard to spray but it's very thick.

Parts are back from being powder coated and things are coming together fast now. Painting the new trailer and dropping the engine in this weekend.

Mocking up the motor and got her named and the CF numbers done. If anyone is wondering my buddies who helped me get the hull restored are Chris and Eric at Laveycraft Motorsports. I'd highly recommend them if anyone is looking to get some gelcoat or fiberglass work done.

Love the greys on the plates and headers. Looks great! Gonna be a nice float. Curios to see what numbers she runs when you're done

It shouldn't be too crazy, the build was pretty mild. I initially rebuilt the motor to slap it back into the old iteration of the hull then got super deep into the project. I plan to tear back into the motor after this summer.

I have 67 Horizon setting in my side yard. Had the boat for some 40 years and its been setting for at least 10years. Like reading your posts. One day I would like restore it as there is a lot of memories there!

Since the boat's center steer I had to build a center console. Really happy with how it turned out. Had it wrapped by Eddie at Martinez Marine. Also got her on the trailer. My rooms booked at Bluewater so now I'm scrambling to finish her up for testing before April.

The trailer came out like ass but I'm not going to have time to fix it before Bluewater. Right now it's good from far but far from good.

Should have it completely together in the next few days. I'll be dropping it in the water for the first time next week then it'll be off to Martinez to get some side panels built for the interior.
