Default Our First Project-Gel Coat 101

We went to Gordo's last night to work on the first project with our new boat-gel coat.
Here is some pics of our work:

After the sanding, gel coat application, sanding off the numbers, and buffing(only got to one side) we were pooped and it was late and Banker Ron and I still had an hour trip back home, so we called it a night before we got back to the gel coat, that will be next weekend.

LAKE SEASON......ARE YOU HERE YET??????
NO?
WELL HURRY UP!
