Some years back I chatted with Bart about his boats. He told me he used no
gel coat but mixed his Fritz layer of resin 50/50 gel and resin. Other than
that he mentioned nothing really special. This construction should not
cause any repair problems.

By the way, if you have a Bart Boat you have a fun little boat built by one
of the more interesting people in the industry.
