Just to follow up for anybodies reference. I got the boat off the trailer and myself and son spent about 6 hours on our backs with two small orbitals and some 50-80 paper. Very easy to go too far on the edges of the chimes had to be cool with that. Even with that grit paper it wasn't nearly as rough as you would think. I did two coats of this paint

I used this to apply

It worked very well with those round edges on the rollers to avoid heavy areas or streaks. I did prep the entire hull with Acetone first and did thin out the paint about %5-10 which did help it flow a bit better. The finish was awesome. After a week went by I did another coat and it glossed up real nice. No sine of any sanding marks at all. Don't be afraid to use 50-80 grit. Here's before and after pics. Time will tell on the durability but taking a very very small screwdriver with some force did not scratch it unless I pushed pretty darn hard. About like the gel coat more or less.
