[quote=wxguy]Like others have already pointed out, a good barrier coat will keep the water absorption to a minimum. Gelcoat is porous and is not good by itself left in the "wild". Also, the rigging will need to be kept super tight to not allow any movement of the rig with boat wakes, waves, etc. Beachcats are simply not made for this environment. Maybe the trip to the bigger lake is worth it!
Good luck!
