Dave, are those pics the current build or...?

if not, Rick can you take some pics of the current build?

They are the original build pics from my hull. I just think the finish could be improved with something glossy and more easily cleanable.

I've seen Bilge Coat done in Bilges, and yes it looked nice, My buddy Dave did his 4 years ago. It's starting to peel in a few places. I told him " Don't even look at me, I told you to use gelcoat". You can do your cabin with it, but in a few years when it's starting to screw up and you have to sand it all off. Dave. You boat has an "UNFINISHED interior. Granted there is gelcoat in the cabin. But that just makes it look better then bare fiberglass. We offer a fully finished cabin for around $8,500. Don Y2K's cabin is finished, and it looks outrageous!. All carpeted, with a porti potti.
A quick scuffing of the gelcoat and a thin coat of a little more gelcoat will make it look new.

Thanks Rick! I'm OK with the "unfinished" part. I prefer not to have any carpet or cloth in there. It seems to absorb moisture and get that "boat" smell.

Gary put some real nice vinyl cushions in there and I love the cabin as it is. Just trying to improve on an already good thing. :drink:

Rick,

What product would you recommend? I noticed West Marine has Waxed, unwaxed, laminating, non-laminating, etc.

Dave, buy the stuff you can just paint on with a brush.
