Dave,



Both Derek Hutchinson and the repair shop I brought my boat to for some
FG repairs, suggested using MarineTex epoxy instead of gelcoat. It is
stronger and lasts longer---just not quite as pretty, but since the keel
is underwater, the only time it is noticed is when the boat's out of the
water.
