that boat is one good looking boat, great work again, what did you use to fair any scratches and to sand the hull to get it that smooth?

For large scratches I used interlux watertite epoxy filler but for the small scratches is was multiple coats of epoxy primekote primer. Each coat was sanded down with 220 grit. I did quite a bit of longboarding but I started with an orbital sander to get the major imperfections out then longboarded until I was through the primer...repeat

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to add my complements. I know how long it took you to do that fantastic bottom job. I've done that sort of work. Lots of sanding is an understatement--it's lots of sanding, over and over again. Sweet job. I have been thinking about doing something like this on my boat, but I know how long it will actually take and I have other obligations.

I have one question if you still follow this thread and read this. How fast is it WOT with that perfect bottom on flat water? What does it weigh? and what is your motor?
