Nick,

With all due respect, a friend of mine completely re-gel coated his bass boat. He sprayed it on the outside of the boat. It cured fine, took him weeks of sanding to get it smooth and then polished it. Been on the boat for 5 years now, looks like new.

Gelcoat on a wooden boat is still not a good idea as many have said.
