[QUOTE="architorture, post: 215348, member: 4717"] Thanks timebak! I checked out your transom in the other thread, it looks great as well. And yeah that's a huge plus too, I'm not keen on getting water in my boat! I have the bottom almost completely steelflexed, I still have to do a little touchup on the front where it was starting to set up and when I poured it on it wouldn't roll out. I sanded some of it down and it doesn't look as good as I wish it did, it will be OK. Also I still have to put another coat on the strakes and keel. The transom will be getting some too, if I have enough. Also, on the first coat, I was using some 7" foam rollers I had left over that I cut into 4" and 3" pieces thinking it would work fine. Well it was ok for a flat surface but they provided zero flex over the strakes and seams. On the second coat I used some of the 4" mini foam rollers, and they made a WORLD of difference. There's a lot more foam in them so they were much more flexible and worked great.
