Default Bottom Blueprinting

I would love to get some advise from you guys. I'm getting ready to go ahead and flip the boat on it's side and do one side at a time. I wasn't planning on doing it, but I figure there is no better time then now since I have the motors out, drive off and fuel tank empty.

My plan in to cut down the high spot's till I hit resin, then fill the low's. What do you guys like to use for filler? I was thinking about Marglass or Duraglass.
Then I'm just going to sharpen where the bottom meets the transom, and sharpen/straighten the strakes, then gel that side and flip it over and do the same thing on the other side.

I'm planing on using Gel with Duratec and spraying with a gravity gun. How many coats would you lay down? I was thinking 4.

Thanks for the input fella's!
Frank
