It won't help alot for the resale value, when I trade it in for that plastic yak! Sounds like a good "used yak salesman" line...... "Yea, we did a special custom gel coat scrape job on this boat to cut down weight....and passed the savings on to you!" Or maybe I can meet potential buyers at night, with the flashlight on inside... They'd be charmed. Tina >Tomckayak_at_aol.com writes: >The Gelcoat is for looks only. Some people order a kayak with out gelcoat to >save weight.
