Ok, I have sprayed gel on the hull of the 17 and the finish has orange peel to the extreme. It has a "stipple" finish before sanding. I have sanded the sides(220 grit) and am planning to roll and tip with paint ( I'm worn out with gel coat, not my skill set) The question is what is the down side of leving the bottom with the texture it has? lost performance?
Looking for some input. The finish is real consistant (and the wife likes it):o but I'm not sold....
