[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 129549, member: 1931"] Sorry I wasn't around to give advice. We have been remodeling our house and just did new carpet and got DSL (no more dial up!!!!!) First off I doubt that the boat has paint on it. It probably has gelcoat on it. Those cracks are only in the gelcoat and not in the glass. (paint would come right off, and since it is very hard to get off it is probably gelcoat) They do not need to be reinforced. But since you have already done it, it will just give you some more strength and an added turning chine. You can paint the bottom, but it will not last. I would only use gelcoat, but now that you have epoxy on the bottom that is not going to work. (gelcoat will not stick to epoxy) I would look for an epoxy that you can use as a bottom coat of color. That would serve two purposes, one is it would give you some more strength and two it will give you some color. Your doing a great job so far and keep up the good work. [/QUOTE]
